A review of research in the field of Military Psychology and an appraisal of the
recent trends indicate an ever increasing interaction of the sub-discipline with other
applied fields of psychology and the discipline of psychology in general. However,
a distinct lack of scientific reporting of the studies in Indian context is evident. The
present paper is an attempt to overview Military Psychology and traces its growth
over the years in India. It discusses the challenges of research in Military Psychology
and the unique opportunities that the field provides. Recent researches being
conducted in the discipline world over are reviewed in the context of current
endeavours in the country, and a perspective for the future is proposed. A need for
enhancing interaction with the academia and popularising the sub-discipline is
underlined.
