Combative psychology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Combative psychology is the study of psychological factors that affect an individual in a combat situation, as well as methods of martial arts and self-defense teaching and practice to maximize preparation for such situations.
A well-known example of early combative psychology is the recognition of the occurrence of 'shell-shock' in soldiers in the trenches of WWI, a condition later renamed as 'Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder' (PTSD).
