[Prevention of psychoemotional disorders on a prolonged space flight by psychological support means]

Abstract

A number of supportive and rehabilitative measures forming so-called psychological support can be used to prevent potential psychoemotional disorders in crewmembers during prolonged space missions. The use of these measures in the Salyut--6--Soyuz 96--185-day space flights has shown their efficiency in terms of expansion of the "psychological living space" and maintenance of a high emotional and working tone of crewmembers.
