Reviews

'Here is the definitive guide to the practice of psychology in military environments. Finally, practitioners - both uniformed and civilian - have a thorough yet practice-oriented, one-stop resource for effective and ethical practice in military settings. From recognized leaders in the field, this handbook sets a new standard of practice by concisely distilling essential elements of fitness-for-duty evaluations, brief interventions, suicide prevention, combat stress intervention, and health promotion. Of equal importance, it is the first volume to articulate the parameters of practice in operational environments, covering new terrain in the areas of operational consultation, survival training, weapons of mass destruction, terrorist psychology, hostage negotiation, and disaster response. This cutting-edge book belongs in the arsenal of every military clinician.' "- W. Brad Johnson, PhD, Department of Psychology, U.S. Naval Academy; past president, Society for Military Psychology" 'As a civilian neuropsychologist providing evaluations to service members returning from Iraq, I find this book to be an unprecedented resource...The book provides a unique opportunity to examine our military, the challenges presented to our military members, and how these needs are met. This forward-thinking contribution is a 'must read' for any clinician, student, researcher, or operational psychologist working in the area of the military, veterans' affairs, intelligence, or law enforcement.' "- Jeffrey T. Barth, PhD, Department of Psychiatric Medicine, University of Virginia School of Medicine, USA"
