Psychology of combat

Psychology of combat, or 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 World War I, a condition later renamed as 'Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder' (PTSD). Psychology of combat is word of understanding the what happens to the people that are in war and the people that have come back from war. The biggest sickness from combat is Post-traumatic stress disorder but there are so many other disorders that are involed with combat or say war.
