Military psychology has become one of the world's fastest-growing
disciplines with ever-emerging new applications of research and
development. The Routledge International Handbook of Military
Psychology and Mental Health is a compendium of chapters by
internationally renowned scholars in the field, bringing forth the
state of the art in the theory, practice and future prospects of
military psychology. This uniquely interdisciplinary volume
deliberates upon the current issues and applications of military
psychology not only within the military organization and the
discipline of psychology, but also in the larger context of its
role of building a better world. Split into three parts dedicated
to specific themes, the first part of the book, "Military
Psychology: The Roots and the Journey," provides an overview of the
evolution of the discipline over the years, delving into concepts
as varied as culture and cognition in the military, a perspective
on the role of military psychology in future warfare and ethical
issues. The second part, "Soldiering: Deployment and Beyond,"
considers the complexities involved in soldiering in view of the
changing nature of warfare, generating a focal discourse on various
aspects of military leadership, soldier resilience and
post-traumatic growth in the face of extreme situations, bravery
and character strengths and transitioning to civilian life. In the
final section, "Making a Choice: Mental Health Issues and Prospects
in the Military," the contributors focus on the challenges and
practices involved in maintaining the mental health of the soldier,
covering issues ranging from stress, mental health and well-being,
through to suicide risk and its prevention, intervention and
management strategies, moral injury and post-traumatic stress
disorder. Incorporating enlightening contributions of eminent
scholars from around the world, the volume is a comprehensive
repository of current perspectives and future directions in the
domain of military psychology. It will prove a valuable resource
for mental health practitioners, military leaders, policy-makers
and academics and students across a range of disciplines.
