VIJ Books (India) Pty Ltd Psychology for Soldiers
Book SynopsisWar is often prosecuted in conjunction with other services, as also with para-military forces. Indian Army is also involved in safeguarding disputed borders along mountainous and high altitude terrain. Such deployment often leads to clashes arising out of political decisions and military compulsions. India is also facing two nuclear nations; one of them operates below the thresh-hold, yet there can be nuclear weapons use. The Army is also employed in aid to civil authority, natural calamities and disaster management. The human role will continue to predominate, as such, identifying ingredients that constitute a soldier’s potential becomes necessary. The study of Psychology for the Soldiers seems not adequately carried out, at least on the surface, for selection, training, allotment of trades; and eventually for leadership, tactics, strategy and operational employment. This book aims at initiating more study and research on the subject.Table of Contents"Preface 1. Physical and Mental Fitness 2. The Eye 3. The Ear 4. Loyalty 5. Martial Law And Military Governance 6.

Springer Verlag, Singapore The End of Rationality and Selfishness: A Story
Book SynopsisThis book reviews the antinomy of rationality and selfishness raised from egoism, though rationality and selfishness are understood as basic evolutionary dynamics of humans and other organisms in both classical economics and evolutionary biology. Based on the research and a comparison with human’s social cooperative behavior, the author presents his belief that the social cooperative system, in its essence, cooperation and conflict are of uncertain stochasticity resulting from their intrinsic asymmetric interaction between cooperative partners. The book then discusses limitations of Newton’s methodology of monism in both biology and social science. The understanding of the asymmetric and uncertain characteristics found in cooperation system needs perspective of quantum physics of pluralism. At the end of the book, the author undertakes a review of consistency of Newtonian and monism philosophy and the links between quantum physics and pluralism philosophy.Table of ContentsThe Paradox of Rationality and Selfishness.- Two Asymmetric and Uncertain Selection---Start Thinking by a Hammer.- Inheritance of Acquired Character and Outbreak of Mass Incidents ---Increasing Pressure Accelerates the Evolution of Altruistic Behavior.- Social Cooperation: Drive Toward Choice of Sex.- Cooperation & Slavery---Free Competition to Social Division of Labor.- The Significance of Our Survival.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Job Stressors And Mental Health: A Proactive
Book SynopsisThe title of this book reflects the fundamental aim: to explore the relation between exposure to job stressors and mental health. This is done with the primary intention of developing a new clinical approach, one which takes a proactive stance, emphasizing the need for creating work conditions that are more in harmony with the needs of the human being. Pivotal to this endeavor is to provide an integrative and comprehensive methodology, for assessing work stressors and ameliorating them whenever possible. This methodology, the Occupational Stressor Index, the OSI, was developed by the authors, who have successfully applied the OSI over the years in the context of prevention-oriented clinical practice within neurology and psychiatry, as well as within cardiology, oncology and other medical disciplines. The OSI is grounded in cognitive ergonomics and brain research. The authors, as clinicians, have a special interest in and affinity with their colleagues, their fellow physicians. Consequently, the working conditions and mental health of physicians are strongly emphasized throughout the book. Gender considerations are also woven into the entire book.This book will be of value to readers at many levels and interests. It is written in such a way that a non-expert can learn a great deal about the topics. Readers at all levels can reflect on their own work situation and how it could be improved within the framework of enhanced mental health. For health professionals, particularly psychiatrists, occupational medicine specialists, clinical psychologists as well as physicians involved in primary care and rehabilitation, this book will represent a sorely-needed paradigm shift which will help them address a main source of their patients' mental distress. It will be thought-provoking and yet also practical. Part I of the book provides the multi-faceted, scientific justification for this new clinical approach. The authors, as clinicians themselves, speak the clinical language and guide the reader step-by-step as to how this approach can be applied in practice.Table of ContentsWork as a Source of Meaning versus Stress; Evidence, Mechanisms, Standard of Care, Methodology: The Work Environment's Impact on Mental Health: Epidemiologic Evidence; Work Stress Mechanisms and Mental Health; Work Fitness and Occupational Rehabilitation; The Occupational Stressor Index (OSI); The Clinical Case Studies: Introduction to the Case Studies; An Exhausted Psychiatrist Thinking about Suicide; Middle-School Teacher with Panic Attacks and Migraines; Computer Programmer with Epilepsy and Agoraphobia; Oncologic Nurse with Breast Cancer and Disturbed Sleep; Control Panel Worker with Paranoid Ideation; Control Panel Worker with Paranoid Ideation; Professional Driver with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder; Scientist with Bipolar Disorder; Dysphoric Academic Physician nearing Retirement; New Approach to Neuropsychiatry Focused on the Work Environment: Occupational Neuropsychiatry as a New Subspecialty; A Clinical View towards a Humane Work Environment; Appendices: Diagnostic Criteria; The OSI Questionnaire and Score Sheet for Case#1.
