Deployment Psychology: Evidence-Based Strategies to Promote Mental Health in the Military

This book focuses on systematic, evidence-based strategies to promote mental health in the military. The editors, Amy B. Adler, Paul D. Bleise, and Carol Andrew Castro, have gathered leading clinicians and researchers in military mental health to examine how mental health providers and military leaders can best moderate the negative impact of combat. Contributors discuss the importance of individual screening, training, peer support, leadership and organizational policies, as well as the development and implementation of large-scale mental health programs that incorporate these elements and more. The editors promote a broad occupational health model of prevention and include the latest research on delivering mental health services in pre-deployment, in-theater settings, and VA hospitals.
