ABSTRACT
Who among us enjoys moving? The process of giving up an established home and friends and relocating to another neighborhood, city, or geographical region is often accompanied by fatigue, feelings of loss and alienation, and fear of the unknown. For adults, moving may be made more pleasant by the anticipation of a more challenging or rewarding occupation, or by the intellectual stimulation of relocating to a new environment. And, in fact, for many individuals, moving is a normal part of adult life, as with the civilian and military employees of the Department of Defense, who routinely relocate every 2 to 5 years.
