Plans to keep human beings in space for long terms increases the importance of incorporating psychology and psychiatry into aerospace medicine. Distrustful of evidence gathered from space analog environments, Kanas (psychiatry, U. of California at San Francisco, US) and Manzey (industrial and organizational psychology, Technical U. of Berlin, Germany) emphasize psychological and interpersonal findings from research conducted during actual space missions. They address questions of individual adaptation and performance, human interactions, psychiatric issues, selection and training, and monitoring and support.
