Military psychologists and the Partnership for Peace program in Albania

A team of two military psychologists (the authors) traveled to Albania to provide training to Albanian military sociologists in psychological issues associated with peacekeeping deployment in connection with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Partnership for Peace program. The training, based on research conducted by the authors, emphasize the typical problems faced by peacekeepers. The information presented was adjusted to better meet the particular needs of the Albanians. Topics of primary interest to the Albanians are discussed with an emphasis on the Albanian cultural context. General lessons for future Partnership for Peace training are also presented.
