アメリカ陸軍のストレス対応策

The Army plans to require that all 1.1 million of its soldiers take intensive training in emotional resiliency, military officials say.
The training, the first of its kind in the military, is meant to improve performance in combat and head off the mental health problems, including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide, that plague about one-fifth of troops returning from Afghanistan and Iraq....
Usually taught in weekly 90-minute classes, the methods seek to defuse or expose common habits of thinking and flawed beliefs that can lead to anger and frustration — for example, the tendency to assume the worst. (“My wife didn’t answer the phone; she must be with someone else.”)

米陸軍が隊員のストレス耐性を高めるためのトレーニングを導入したそうです。これは興味深い試みですね。アフガニスタンイラクからの帰還兵の約20%が何らかの精神衛生上の問題を抱えているそうで、このトレーニングが効力を発揮するのか注目が集まると思います。
いざ効果があったら「米陸軍で採用された危機対応メンタルトレーニング、日本上陸!」とかいう広告が出そうだな。
