Military psychology is a specialist discipline within applied psychology. It entails the application of psychological science to military operations, systems and personnel. The specialty was formally founded during World War I in the UK and the USA, and it was integral to many early concepts and interventions for psychological and neuropsychological trauma. It also established a fundamental basis for the psychological assessment and selection of military personnel. During and after World War II, military psychology continued to make significant contributions to aviation psychology, cognitive testing, rehabilitation psychology and many models of psychotherapy. Military psychology now consists of several subspecialties, including clinical, research and occupational psychology, with the latter often referred to in the USA as industrial/organisational psychology. This article will provide an overview of the origins, history and current composition of military psychology in the UK, with select international illustrations also being offered.
军事心理学是应用心理学中的一个专业学科。它涉及将心理科学应用于军事行动、系统和人员。该专业于第一次世界大战期间在英国和美国正式创立，并且对于许多早期针对心理和神经心理创伤的概念及干预措施而言不可或缺。它还为军事人员的心理评估和选拔奠定了基础。在第二次世界大战期间及战后，军事心理学继续为航空心理学、认知测试、康复心理学以及许多心理治疗模式做出了重大贡献。军事心理学如今包含几个子专业，包括临床、研究和职业心理学，后者在美国常被称为工业/组织心理学。本文将概述英国军事心理学的起源、历史和当前构成，并提供一些国际案例。
