In this remarkable volume, a multinational team of scientists
catalogs the stressors and benefits for combat-trained soldiers
deployed on missions where they are told to hold their fire and
assume the role of peacekeeper. Theory and direct research with
peacekeepers is incorporated. Missions covered include, but are not
limited to, peacekeeping operations in Haiti, Somalia, Bosnia,
Kosovo, Iraq, and Lebanon. The terminology of peacekeeping and
military operations is listed. The stressors, threats, dangers,
frustrations, and benefits of the peacekeeper role are described in
dramatic detail, with additional attention to the Peacekeeper
Stress Syndrome. With the goal of increasing peacekeeper health and
well-being, which in turn increases the likelihood of establishing
a stable peace, this volume also addresses interventions and
preventative measures. The extent of psychological distress and
disorders following peacekeeping operations is documented.
Interventions are recommended for various phases of deployment, in
order to minimize the likelihood of post-deployment psychological
problems. Experts in social, industrial/organizational, health,
clinical, and cross-cultural psychology contribute to a
multi-dimensional perspective. Each chapter author reports
psychological research with military personnel in peacekeeping
operations.
