Military needs civilian psychologists
By Richard E. Gill
Assistant Editor
Using civilian psychologists, possibly in combat zones in the Middle East but also to treat emotionally damaged war veterans returning from horrid conditions of a war that has taken its toll on active duty psychologists, is under consideration by the U.S. military.
Retired Col. Will Wilson, Ph.D., said there is a strong initiative by the military to enlist the aid of civilians to help psychologists that are overwhelmed and understaffed from constant rotation in and out of war zones.

By Robert H. Woody, Ph.D., J.D.

Recruits are transformed into “thinking like a law enforcer,” developing physical strength and prowess and being accepted by society as a special type of public servant – all of which happens in about five months of full-time training and continues to be extended and refined through one’s career.
