The following links are the result of a text exchange with the irrepressible Dr. OZMG on counseling in the space biz. As usual I provided too much information, but what the heck.
- A rather old (1982?) Johnson Space Center paper on "The Psychology of Human Orbital Factors."
- The Association of Aviation Psychology, which presumably covers regular aviation and aerospace.
- The International Journal of Aviation Psychology, which I believe is the official journal of the AAP above.
- Here's that psych book I recommended earlier, and which I might add to my Christmas list for science fiction research/writing purposes: Choosing the Right Stuff: the Psychological Selection of Astronauts and Cosmonauts.
- Another book in the same category: Space Psychology and Psychiatry.
- ABC News Article: "Feeling Low Up High: The Lonely Astronaut."
- Psychiatric News Story: "NASA Addresses Mental Health of Mars-Mission Members."
- National Academies Press book: Safe Passage: Astronaut Care for Exploration Missions.
- APA Online article: "Psychology Keeps Astronauts Well Grounded."
- NASA Astronaut Health Care System Review Committee February - June 2007 Report to the Administrator (this was the report requested after the Lisa Nowak affair).
- Astronauts with a psychology degree or some connection with psychology:
--Dan Tani (like me, a Glenbard East High School graduate)
--Nicholas Patrick
--James Pawleczyk
--Thomas Reiter (European Space Agency)
--Gerhard P. J. Thiele (ESA) - A NASA Flight Surgeon with the Constellation Program...also an Illinois guy.
- I mislabeled this for Dr. OZMG earlier, but it's a newsletter out of JSC that happened to focus on employee mental health, on the ground and in space.
