Dr McKenzie attends a NATO conference in Brussels looking at psychological support, and talks to Major General Patrick Cammaert, a former Dutch Marine, who now leads 15,000 UN peace keepers in DR Congo. Lieutenant-Colonel Carl Castro and Dr Brenda Wiederhold explain how the US is using predeployment briefings and Virtual Reality to help soliders cope, and Professor Simon Wessely talks about the situation in Britain .
The Army is using the psychological model of Transformational Leadership to reform its training regime, andÌýAll in the Mindvisits the Infantry Training Centre at Catterick to see if it's making any difference to new recruits.
And Dr McKenzie talks to two veterans being treated by Combat Stress about their psychological breakdowns following active service.
