ABSTRACT
As a clinical psychologist and family psychotherapist, the author have had a long-standing interest in the ways in which individuals manage journeys throughout the life cycle—both external journeys from country to country and internal journeys from stagnation to growth. His growing interest in the field of clinical aerospace psychology stems from the blending of his clinical training, his lifelong passion for travel, and his experience as a pilot. The author formal work as an clinical aerospace psychologist began in the mid-1990s, when he had been invited to develop a counselling service for the flight crew of several international airlines. Teaching medical students, we know how important it is to give medical students a space, a structured space, in which they can talk about their clinical work, and perhaps aircrew also need a space of this kind, like a group for airline workers.
