  1. War Sucks for the 1st talk showing the history of war driving mental health

  2. Civil War = .7 • WWII =2.4 • Korea = 2.6 • Vietnam = 3.0 • OIF/OEF = 9 (Fischer, Klarman, and Oboroceanu, 2007) WAR Sucks! • Medicine But it does drive advances in:

  3. WAR Sucks! • Medicine • Psychology • Neuropsychology • Rehabilitation But it does drive advances in:

  4. WAR Sucks! But it does drive advances in: • WWI– Army Alpha/Beta Kicks off Civilian IQ Testing Movement • WWII – The birth of Psychology as a clinical profession in the USA & Luria’s groundbreaking work with Russian Vets with TBI sets the stage for clinical neuropsychology! • Arab-Israeli Wars– Further drives developments in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation • Vietnam War– Drove recognition of PTSD as a clinical disorder • OIF/OEF– Will it drive advances in technology for TBI, PTSD, Prosthetics, Rehab?

  5. WWI– Army Alpha/Beta Kicks off Civilian IQ Testing Movement Crisco is a: (A) patent medicine (B) disinfectant (C) toothpaste (D) food productWhy is beef better food than cabbage?   (A) it tastes better   (B) it is more nourishing   (C) it is harder to obtainWhy are cats useful animals? WTF??!!! Army Beta IQ Items Army Alpha IQ Items

  6. WWII – The birth of Psychology as a clinical profession in the USA & Luria’s ground breaking work with Russian Vets with TBI sets the stage for clinical neuropsychology! Because physicians (including psychiatrists) were over-extended in treating bodily injuries and combat fatigue, psychologists were called to help treat this condition. After the war, the Veterans Administration in the US made an enormous investment to set up programs to train doctoral-level clinical psychologists to help treat the thousands of veterans needing care. As a consequence, the US went from having no formal university programs in clinical psychology in 1946 to over half of all Ph.D.s in psychology in 1950 being awarded in clinical psychology.

  7. WWII – The birth of Psychology as a clinical profession in the USA & Luria’s ground breaking work with Russian Vets with TBI sets the stage for clinical neuropsychology! With the advent of WWII, Luria was assigned head of neurosurgical rehabilitation in Kissegatch for those with brain injuries and subsequently treated over 3,000 injured soldiers. Through his work, he developed a systematic approach to understanding the brain and cognition and determined that complex behavioral processes are comprised of a number of brain structures, each playing highly specific roles and all contributing to a form of coordinated control. Further, Luria found that complex brain functions do not reside solely in specific brain areas. Instead, brain function is distributed among all parts and levels of the brain. Each area makes its own contribution and adds to the work of the functional system as a whole. (Luria, Haigh, 1992) Alexander Luria

  8. Arab-Israeli Wars– Further drives developments in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Israeli War of 1973 -- Established TBI/Cognitive Rehab program with help of NYU/Yehuda Ben Yishay 1977/1978 – first comprehensive TBI Rehab programs in US

  9. Vietnam War– Drove recognition of PTSD as a clinical disorder Following a congressional mandate in 1983, the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS) was conducted by the U.S. government to better understand the development of PTSD from the Vietnam War, as well as other problems. At the time of the study (middle to late 1980s), among Vietnam veterans, approximately 15% of men and 9% of women were found to currently have PTSD. Approximately 30% of men and 27% of women had PTSD at some point in their life following Vietnam. These findings, obtained approximately a decade after the end of the Vietnam War, found that for many veterans, their PTSD had become a chronic condition. DSM 1 (1952) Gross Stress Disorder DSM 2 (1968) GSD Omitted DSM 3/3R(1980-87) PTSD

  10. OIF/OEF– Will it drive advances in technology for TBI, PTSD, Prosthetics, Rehab? Institute of Medicine 2012 Report on PTSD “The DoD and the VA should support research that investigates emerging technologic approaches (mobile, telemedicine, Internet-based, and virtual reality) that may help to overcome barriers to awareness, accessibility, availability, acceptability, and adherence to evidence-based treatments.”

  11. OIF/OEF– Will it drive advances in technology for PTSD, TBI, Rehab, Prosthetics? Mobile Health Apps Telemedicine Virtual Humans Internet-based Virtual Reality 2nd Life Virtual Worlds

  12. WAR Sucks! But it has driven advances in: • WWI– Army Alpha/Beta Kicks off Civilian IQ Testing Movement • WWII – The birth of Psychology as a clinical profession in the USA & Luria’s ground breaking work with Russian Vets with TBI sets the stage for clinical neuropsychology! • Arab-Israeli Wars– Further drives developments in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation • Vietnam War– Drove recognition of PTSD as a clinical disorder • OIF/OEF– Will it drive advances in technology for TBI, PTSD, Prosthetics, Rehab?
