During wartime, the need for mental health professionals intensifies, and the role they play is increasingly important. This comprehensive professional reference and text presents crucial knowledge for anyone who provides direct psychological services or consultation to military, law enforcement, or intelligence personnel, or who works to enhance operational readiness. Expert contributors describe the ins and outs of working within the military system and offer guidelines for effective, ethical practice. Among the clinical applications discussed are fitness-for-duty evaluations, suicide risk assessment and prevention, substance abuse treatment, and brief psychotherapy. Operational applications include such topics as combat stress, survival training, hostage negotiation, and understanding terrorist motivation.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
"Here is the definitive guide to the practice of psychology in military environments. Finally, practitioners-both uniformed and civilian-have a thorough yet practice-oriented, one-stop resource for effective and ethical practice in military settings. From recognized leaders in the field, this handbook sets a new standard of practice by concisely distilling essential elements of fitness-for-duty evaluations, brief interventions, suicide prevention, combat stress intervention, and health promotion. Of equal importance, it is the first volume to articulate the parameters of practice in operational environments, covering new terrain in the areas of operational consultation, survival training, weapons of mass destruction, terrorist psychology, hostage negotiation, and disaster response. This cutting-edge book belongs in the arsenal of every military clinician."
W. Brad Johnson, PhD, Department of Psychology, U.S. Naval Academy; past president, Society for Military Psychology
"As a civilian neuropsychologist providing evaluations to service members returning from Iraq, I find this book to be an unprecedented resource....The book provides a unique opportunity to examine our military, the challenges presented to our military members, and how these needs are met. This forward-thinking contribution is a 'must read' for any clinician, student, researcher, or operational psychologist working in the area of the military, veterans' affairs, intelligence, or law enforcement."
Jeffrey T. Barth, PhD, Department of Psychiatric Medicine, University of Virginia School of Medicine
"This comprehensive text covers the full range of services and settings in which military psychologists may practice. The clinical section addresses an excellent range of therapy and assessment issues. The accompanying examples are extremely practical and useful. The operational section makes for fascinating reading, covering issues and topics such as combat stress and the role of psychology in survival training. This is an essential text for any psychologist practicing in or providing services to the military. It will also be useful to psychologists working within the VA system, as it provides an understanding of clinical issues and the military culture not available in other texts."
Rodney D. Vanderploeg, PhD, Psychology Service, James A. Haley VA Medical Center, Tampa, Florida
