British Army Veterans' Experiences of the Transition into Civilian Life

An Ultra-Realist Perspective

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

British Army Veterans' Experiences of the Transition into Civilian Life offers an ultra-realist explanation of Army veterans' experiences of the transition into civilian life. It argues that the Army contains its' own Symbolic Order, a model of meaning making, which is distinct from the civilian method of making sense of the world.
