Astronaut Love Triangle

I feel so terribly sorry for this amazing women, Lisa Marie Nowak, who has so spectacularly ruined her career and her life, and made NASA a laughingstock. I was struck by something I heard on the news - that while NASA has a very rigorous screening process, once someone is accepted to the astronaut program, there is no additional assessment done. It sounds like that policy should be reconsidered. It's a terribly stressful job and presumably attracts people with very intense personalities. Granted, I'm a psychologist, so I'm biased, but it seems like it might be wise for NASA to at least offer their personnel some psychological support.
