Aeromedical psychology is that branch of psychology pertaining to
the assessment, selection and evaluation of aviation personnel.
This book, Aeromedical Psychology, is designed to provide the means
for a variety of clinicians to carry out sound assessment and
selection procedures, perform informed evaluations and make
subsequent recommendations regarding flight status and treatment
strategies geared to the aviation environment. To facilitate a
dynamic understanding of the field, the book emphasizes an
integration of applications and theory, case examples and research.
The book is divided into three parts. The first presents assessment
and selection procedures for aviation personnel (i.e. air traffic
controllers, flight officers and pilots) and astronauts and the
many ways in which both psychologists and psychiatrists are
involved in these roles. In the second part, the waiver standards
put forth by both the FAA and the various branches of the military
are presented, as well as the waiver decision process. Clinical
issues unique to aviation - notably fear of flying, motivation to
fly and airsickness - are addressed, as well as possible courses of
intervention, treatment and disposition. In the final part, more
specialized issues pertaining to aeromedical psychology are dealt
with, namely the psychopharmacological research and regulations
applicable to recreational pilots and aviation personnel, managing
the aftermath of aviation mishaps and the psychologist's role in
accident investigations.
