Excerpt from The Psychology of Handling Men in the Army This little book is not to be regarded as a treatise on psychology; its purpose is frankly a practical one, and the plan out of which the work has grown originated in the army camps. The experience of the junior author (Lieut. David) in different training camps in which men are being prepared for the various duties of warfare led him to see the need, as he interpreted the situation, of a simple, rather practical presentation of the underlying psychological principles of handling men, one which should be especially designed to aid the newly commissioned and the non-commissioned officer. Consultation with various experienced army officers and a number of prominent citizens strengthened his conviction that a little book of this kind would render very real service in the present crisis, which has forced war upon us on so large a scale that officers must be prepared for their important duties in a comparatively short length of time. The field covered has been defined in general by what we have regarded as of most practical importance in view of present conditions. Since this is the first book of which we know that deals entirely with the psychological aspects of the training and handling of men in the army, it is necessarily incomplete and tentative in many respects, but it was thought best to begin with the more general and probably the most important aspects of the subject and to leave for later special studies and developments the problems relating to various particular phases of the field, most of which will have to be worked out under experimental conditions for which special provision is necessary.

This book is the most comprehensive work on the subject and perhaps the only one that focuses on military humour. Everyone enjoys humour, and military humour has a particular appeal because it is created in an environment that offers the maximum opportunity for its exploitation. It will also make the general reader closely familiar with the military milieu and the working of the military mind. The student of psychology should find this book useful because it presents the difficult subject of humour in general, in a comprehensive and readable form. However, this book should prove most useful to the Service officer. For him the pleasure of the humour will be enhanced because he is familiar with the military environment. It will also give him a new dimension in the exercise of military command by the use of humour to mitigate the stresses and strains of peace and war. In handling his men he will go beyond merely applying the yardstick of the code of military law.

The Crimea, the Boer War, the Somme, Tobruk, Pearl Harbor, the Bay of Pigs: these are just some of the milestones in a century of military incompetence, of costly mishaps and tragic blunders. Are these simple accidents -- as the "bloody fool" theory has it -- or are they inevitable? The psychologist Norman F. Dixon argues that there is a pattern to inept generalship, and locates this pattern within the very act of creating armies in the first place, which in his view produces a levelling down of human capability that encourages the mediocre and limits the gifted. In this light, successful generals achieve what they do despite the stultifying features of the organization to which they belong. A classic study of military leadership, On the Psychology of Military Incompetence is at once an original exploration of the battles that have defined the last two centuries of human civilization and an essential guide for the next generation of military leaders.

With global commitments and combat duty, our armed forces face life-threatening challenges on a daily basis. However, less visible threats also impact the mental health of our military men and women. Experts examine challenges on the battlefield, such as women coming to terms with life after being prisoners of war, or soldiers dealing with mistakenly killing civilians. But life in the armed forces presents less dramatic, daily challenges. Away from the front lines, soldiers have to raise their families, sometimes as single parents. Children have to learn what it's like to be in a military fami.

This expert compendium surveys the current state of military psychology across the branches of service at the clinical, research, consulting, and organizational levels. Its practical focus examines psychological adjustment pre- and post-deployment, commonly-encountered conditions (e.g., substance abuse), and the promotion of well-being, sleep, mindfulness, and resilience training. Coverage pays particular attention to uses of psychology in selection and assessment of service personnel in specialized positions, and training concerns for clinicians and students choosing to work with the military community. Chapters also address topics of particular salience to a socially conscious military, including PTSD, sexual harassment and assault, women’s and LGBT issues, suicide prevention, and professional ethics. Among the specific chapters topics covered: · Military deployment psychology: psychologists in the forward environment. · Stress and resilience in married military couples. · Assessment and selection of high-risk operational personnel: processes, procedures, and underlying theoretical constructs. · Understanding and addressing sexual harassment and sexual assault in the US military. · Virtual reality applications for the assessment and treatment of PTSD. · Plus international perspectives on military psychology from China, Australia, India, and more. Grounding its readers in up-to-date research and practice, Military Psychology will assist health psychologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and clinical social workers in understanding and providing treatment for military populations, veterans, and their families, as well as military psychologists in leadership and consulting positions.

With global commitments and combat duty, our armed forces face life-threatening challenges on a daily basis. However, less visible threats also impact the mental health of our military men and women. Experts examine challenges on the battlefield, such as women coming to terms with life after being prisoners of war, or soldiers dealing with mistakenly killing civilians. But life in the armed forces presents less dramatic, daily challenges. Away from the front lines, soldiers have to raise their families, sometimes as single parents. Children have to learn what it's like to be in a military family, and to make sense of war. Gay or lesbian officers cope with a don't ask, don't tell policy. An unprecedented range of contributors--military officers, medical doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and professors--take us onto the bases and the battlefields and inside the minds of military personnel who face far greater challenges than most of us ever see in the headlines. These volumes also highlight factors that make members of the military resilient and stable, as well as programs and practices that can ease the psychological burdens of military personnel, families, and children. Readers can better understand how society views our military and military operations, and how each one of us can play a role in supporting our armed forces.

Among the trained psychologists themselves there have been but a few who have seen the necessity for clear as well as careful interpretation of their science through the use of modified technical language for the benefit of laymen, the military reader included. But these serious interpreters have largely been overshadowed by the writers of popular books filled with a dubious psychology, some of which have achieved immense circulation. The result has been that many otherwise well-informed persons still do not realize the full scope of scientific psychology, the science that studies what man is and why he does what he does. For the military man psychology is not merely a special body of knowledge from which the soldier can draw a collection of tricks that he may apply in order to deal more successfully with his comrades, with the men he commands, and with the enemy.
