The psychological selection of military personnel began in the 1950s and was used as an important method in the selection of pilots and astronauts.
Under the new situation, with the advancement of new military reforms and the equipment of high-tech weapons, more and more attention is paid to the psychological selection of soldiers, and it is applied to more military fields.
The battlefield environment faced by special forces is much more cruel than that of ordinary troops, especially the Tigers, a frontline combat team that is completely more dangerous than ordinary special forces. The military attaches great importance to the mental health of every team member.
After the U.S. Gulf War in 1991, veterans suffered from postwar psychological problems, such as mental depression, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, diarrhea, memory loss, distraction, muscle and joint pain, breathing disorders and other comprehensive symptoms of physical discomfort.
, 160,000 of the 520,000 US officers and soldiers who participated in the "Desert Storm" operation claimed to have this disease.
This is the famous "Gulf War Syndrome", and its emergence has made the military of various countries begin to pay attention to post-war psychological counseling of officers and soldiers.
What Gu Chen faced was just an introductory psychological test, and it was also Zhao Youming's first attempt to clearly understand the psychological activities of a female soldier who was obviously young but should be extremely experienced in emergencies.
The lighting in the room was very warm, and even the curtains were in warm colors. Gu Chen sat on the simple fabric sofa and chatted with the gray-maned psychiatrist for about ten minutes.
Zhao Youming, on the other hand, sat on Gu Chen's left hand side and basically remained silent except for occasionally saying a few words.
"It's a good thing that the little girl is very vigilant. However, we are just chatting now, so there is no need to be so sharp. You see, I am just a powerless little old man. It is impossible for me to cause any substantial harm to you as a young person.
.”
After ten minutes of chatting around the topic of war, the young national defense trainee did not feel any strange at all, with a faint smile in his eyes, which made him, an expert who has been engaged in psychological research for decades, feel like he had no idea where to start.
The moment the little girl wearing a luxurious evening dress walked in from the door, no matter how dazzling the fiery red dress was, what he saw was not the grace on her body, but the iron bones that only soldiers can have.
She looked quite calm, as calm as if she had experienced hundreds of battles. She had found a balance point of peace of mind in the tempering of war, and did not need any psychological counseling.
If he hadn't known earlier that this was her first time participating in a war, he would have immediately thought that the person sitting in front of him was a handsome man who was imperturbable.
His seemingly casual sitting posture has an air that belies his age, his demeanor is calm and restrained, as tranquil as water, and his eyebrows are naturally noble. When talking, he is more than fifty years old and is a little more cautious.
The sixty-year-old, internationally renowned psychologist looked at each other with Zhao Youming, who had a slightly furrowed brow. He spoke with a kind smile and pointed at a white rectangular instrument placed on the table, "Your situation is special.
This is also my first time meeting you, come and play with this gadget."
As expected, psychiatrists are all the same. They are all like cunning foxes. They look smiling, but in fact they have turned many corners.
Gu Chen smiled and looked at the small instrument on the coffee table. There were nine holes on the small instrument, arranged in two rows from large to small.
What she had to do was hold the test pen, and with the occasional interference from the psychiatrist, she hung her elbow so that the test pen and the nine-hole instrument were vertically inserted into the hole.
