This paper provides a descriptive backdrop for the assessment of the pilot in distress. Adaptation and stress are defined as the central paradigms for looking at behavior. Reference is made to works of Selye, Canon, and Holmes and Rahe. The normal pilot personality is presented as a particular example of unique stressors and adaptive requirements. Stress and adaptation are applied to understanding the phases of illness. The four perspectives necessary to the assessment of illness are described (biological, personality, sociocultural, and symbolic). Case examples illustrate the application of these perspectives to the assessment of the flyer.
本文为评估遇险飞行员提供了一个描述性背景。适应和压力被定义为观察行为的核心范式。文中参考了塞利、卡农以及霍姆斯和拉赫的著作。正常飞行员的性格被视为独特压力源和适应性需求的一个具体例子。压力和适应被用于理解疾病的各个阶段。描述了评估疾病所需的四个视角（生物学、性格、社会文化和象征）。案例示例说明了这些视角在飞行员评估中的应用。
