Developing military psychologists

Abstract

Herein are presented suggestions to soldiers recently trained as personnel technicians through the Army Specialized Training Program, with special attention to the army setting in which the trainee must work. The author summarizes his suggestions as follows: "The paper outlines principles which should assist personnel technicians to adapt their specialized knowledge in the performance of army assignments. It is based on the thesis that trained personnel technicians have so much to offer that their best salesmanship is usually to make their techniques, methods, and procedures available, unobtrusively. The result… will usually be that… demonstrated achievements will be so valuable that the program… will rapidly expand." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
