The critical link between psychology and the military is imprtant
to recruiting, training, socializing, assigning, employing,
deploying, motivating, rewarding, maintaining, managing,
integrating, retaining, transitioning, supporting, counseling, and
healing military members. These areas are hardly distinct, and the
chapters in The Oxford Handbook of Military Psychology have
contents that cross these boundaries. Collectively, the topics
covered in this volume describe the myriad ways in which modern
psychology influences warfare and vice versa. The extensive topics
included come from within the areas of clinical,
industrial/organizational, experimental, engineering, and social
psychology. The contributors are top international experts in
military psychology - some uniformed soldiers, others academics and
clinicians, and others civilian employees of the military or other
government agencies. They address important areas in which the
science and practice of psychology supports military personnel in
their varied and complex missions. Among the topics addressed here
are suitability for service, leadership, decision making, training,
terrorism, socio-cultural competencies, diversity and cohesion,
morale, quality-of-life, ethical challenges, and mental health and
fitness. The focus is the ways in which psychology promotes the
decisive human dimension of military effectiveness. Collectively,
the 25 topical chapters of this handbook provide an overview of
modern military psychology and its tremendous influence on the
military and society as a whole.
