This book was released on 1947 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An assessment of the incidence of predisposition to psychological disorders in flying personnel showed that two-thirds of individuals who failed to withstand the stress of flying were predisposed to nervous breakdown. As this group undoubtedly contained individuals capable of adapting themselves satisfactorily to operational flying, it was decided that only severely predisposed individuals should be rejected at entry, and that those with other degrees of predisposition should be watched carefully during training and eliminated if signs of temperamental unsuitability appeared. Surveys of psychological disorder in air crew showed similar findings year by year: about 3,000 cases of nervous breakdown and 300 of lack of confidence annually, which indicated that a uniform standard of psychiatric examination was being maintained. Types of nervous breakdown were chiefly anxiety and hysteria, both together accounting for over 90 per cent of cases. Practically all cases of nervous breakdown (98.4 per cent) arose from underlying psychological rather than physical causes.

Download or read book Conceptual Issues in Psychological Medicine written by the late Michael Shepherd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceptual Issues in Psychological Medicine is a collection of papers written by the celebrated psychiatrist, Michael Shepherd, who was one of the originators of psychiatric epidemiology in the UK and a leading social psychiatrist of his generation. He designed and implemented some of the first systematic studies into what are now widely recognised clinical syndromes. His extensive research experience and his advocacy of a scientific approach to social psychiatry form the basis of the essays contained in this book. Covering such issues as the development of research strategy and the difficulties involved in completing psychiatric studies, Shepherd's papers address many of the issues currently facing professionals in this field. He writes authoritatively and engagingly on clinical syndromes, the history of ideas and the use of the epidemiological approach in psychiatry. Conceptual Issues in Psychological Medicine stimulates and informs the reader in equal measure; it will be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any practitioner of medicine.
Download or read book The Insubordinate and the Noncompliant written by Howard Coombs and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2008-03-28 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unwilling and the Reluctant: Theoretical Perspectives on Disobedience in the Military and The Apathetic and the Defiant: Case Studies of Canadian Mutiny and Disobedience, 1812-1919 are the first two volumes in a series devoted to disobedience issues in the Canadian military. Now with The Insubordinate and the Noncompliant, the trilogy is complete. Military leadership has both formal and informal dimensions. The formal leadership of any organization must ensure that it minimizes the divergence between institutional aims and the actions of informal leaders. When this separation occurs, the result is sometimes mutiny. These incidents of insubordination and noncompliance represent a form of dialogue between military personnel and their leadership. The Insubordinate and the Noncompliant offers a perspective on the Canadian experience with military mutiny in the twentieth century in an effort to provide relevant lessons for today.
Download or read book Cream of the Crop written by Allan Douglas English and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1996-07-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English describes the development of a uniquely Canadian selection system that attempted to match the aptitudes of aircrew candidates to the duties they would perform and the evolution of the RCAF's training program from a haphazard system with enormous attrition to one that became the model for many modern systems. He traces the development of aviation psychology and the treatment of psychological casualties of air combat. English pays particular attention to the LMF controversy and the RCAF's response as well as the effect of morale and leadership on the psychological well-being of, and casualty rates among, Royal Air Force and RCAF bomber squadrons. In exploring the human dimension of air warfare, an issue that has been widely overlooked in military literature, English demonstrates that personnel considerations have at least as much influence on the effectiveness of air forces as material and technological factors.
Download or read book Fear of Flying written by Jorden David Pitt and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II and the Korean War, military medical officers diagnosed many pilots with a psychological disorder known as "Fear of Flying," (FOF) which is very similar to today's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. There were two competing paradigms regarding this problem and whether it was truly a sickness. Medical personnel such as psychologists defined Fear of Flying as a mental illness thereby establishing a "Mental-Illness" hypothesis. Administrative Personnel, such as commanding officers and other ranked officials, subscribed to the notion that the disorder was not a true sickness. They believed that the men who confessed that they suffered from FOF evinced cowardice. Therefore, officers created the "Character-Flaw" paradigm. These two schools of thought, therefore, dictated the way psychologists and officers diagnosed, evaluated, and cured or inoculated/quarantined Fear of Flying in the Second World War and the Korean War. Examining these different stages-diagnosis, evaluation, and cure/prevention-allow one to gain a better understanding of how medical professionals and commanding officials perceived psychological illnesses in the 1940s and 1950s. Flying disorders that some World War II and Korean War pilots experienced also reveal the competing notions between the two different military factions regarding mental disorders in times of war, thereby granting scholars new analytical lenses through which they can view inner-conflict in the military and issues of masculinity in the 1940s and 1950s.
