The presentation of mental illness at work has different
implications and consequences depending on the specific nature of
the job, work context, regulatory framework and risks for the
employee, organisation and society. Naturally there are certain
occupational groups where human factors and/or mental illness could
impair safety and mental acuity, and with potentially devastating
consequences. For pilots, the medical criteria for crew licensing
are stipulated by regulatory aviation authorities worldwide, and
these include specific mental illness exclusions. The challenge of
assessment for mental health problems is, however, complex and the
responsibility for psychological screening and testing falls to a
range of different specialists and groups including AMEs
(authorised aviation medical examiners), GPs and physicians,
airline human resources departments, psychologists, human factor
specialists and pilots themselves. Extending and developing the
ideas of Aviation Mental Health (2006), which described a range of
psychological issues and problems that may affect pilots and the
consequences of these, this book presents an authoritative,
comprehensive and practical guide to modern, evidence-based
practice in the field of mental health assessment, treatment and
care. It features contributions from experts in the field drawn
from several countries, professions and representing a range of
aviation-related organisations, displaying a range of different
skills and methods that can be used for the clinical assessment of
pilots and in relation to specific mental-health problems and
syndromes.
