About The Book

Aeromedical psychology is that branch of psychology pertaining to the assessment selection and evaluation of aviation personnel. This book Aeromedical Psychology is designed to provide the means for a variety of clinicians to carry out sound assessment and selection procedures perform informed evaluations and make subsequent recommendations regarding flight status and treatment strategies geared to the aviation environment. To facilitate a dynamic understanding of the field the book emphasizes an integration of applications and theory case examples and research. The book is divided into three parts. The first presents assessment and selection procedures for aviation personnel (i.e. air traffic controllers flight officers and pilots) and astronauts and the many ways in which both psychologists and psychiatrists are involved in these roles. In the second part the waiver standards put forth by both the FAA and the various branches of the military are presented as well as the waiver decision process. Clinical issues unique to aviation - notably fear of flying motivation to fly and airsickness - are addressed as well as possible courses of intervention treatment and disposition. In the final part more specialized issues pertaining to aeromedical psychology are dealt with namely the psychopharmacological research and regulations applicable to recreational pilots and aviation personnel managing the aftermath of aviation mishaps and the psychologist's role in accident investigations.
