The psychological well-being of servicemen and women returning from
war is one of the most discussed and contemplated mental health issues
today. Media programs debate the epidemic of PTSD in returning
veterans and the potential fallout of a less-than-adequate veteran
mental health system. This public discussion is only a small glimpse
into the field of military psychology. One of the most diverse
specialties within psychology, it is a sector positioned and equipped
to influence such concepts as psychological resilience, consequences
of extended family stress, the role of technology in mental healthcare
delivery, and how to increase human performance under harsh
conditions. _Military Psychologists' Desk Reference_ is the
authoritative guide in the field of military mental health, covering
in a clear and concise manner the depth and breadth of this expanding
area at a pivotal and relevant time. Moore and Barnett, former
military psychologists, bring together the field's top experts to
provide concise and targeted reviews of the most salient aspects of
military mental health and present the material in an easily
digestible manner. Chapters cover important topics such as military
culture, working with Special Operations Forces, professional issues
and ethical challenges, women in combat, posttraumatic stress, anxiety
and sleep disorders, psychologists' involvement in interrogations, and
how to build and sustain a resilient Force, to name but a few. Authors
consist of a combination of current and former military psychologists,
psychiatrists, social workers and Chaplains, experts from the
Department of Veterans Affairs, prominent academicians, and
representatives from other governmental and civilian organizations.
This comprehensive resource is a must for every military psychologist,
as well as for non-military clinicians, researchers, counselors,
social workers, educators, and trainees who increasingly need to be
familiar with this specialized area of psychology.
