The Benefits Aviation Psychologists Offer Operational Commanders: An Analysis and Discussion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288397006)

The United States Air Force has numerous innovative weapon systems. Military personnel operate many of these systems, and they possess their own inherent strengths and weaknesses. Thus, people are a common variable in most weapons, whether through development, programming, or operation. The Shuman weapon systemT also shares common features with all other weapons. It is fallible, influenced by external factors, and requires periodic maintenance. Military aviators present unique challenges to mental health providers. Unfortunately, there is a chronic stigma attached to seeking mental health services, so many individuals in need of help go untreated. Pilots as a group resist mental health programs or any other treatment that may result in loss of flight status.
