As a result, a mindset exists based on flexibility and ability to operate in conditions of uncertainty are paramount. Although there is now a renewed focus on the readiness of the TOTAL FORCE, the military has experienced a significant increase in suicide, sexual assaults, and mental health conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This new Handbook will provide psychology based research covering an array of sub disciplines effecting military psychology today as well as cover the important topics mentioned above.
