WARMCAMP International Military Psychology Conference has been conceptualised by Lt. Col. Dr Samir Rawat, PhD, Combat Veteran, Mention-in-Despatches (Kargil), Indian Armed Force’s First Home Grown Military Psychologist.
Giving details about the conference, Lt. Col. Dr Samir Rawat said ‘My aim is to create pool of resources that can serve the Armed Forces and the PMF in form of psychologists with certain competencies that will facilitate in serving those who serve the Nation. Wounds on the surface are simpler to manage; the psychological impact that military operations have on a soldier is often ignored and precipitates mental illness in the individual affected if appropriate interventions not factored in before, during and after exposure to combat. Psychology is gaining currency all over the world, with terror attacks happening everywhere.”
