Give your troops psi training (which will improve their ability to mind control aliens, but I seem to remember it didn't help in terms of resistance against psi attacks)

You're right, Psy skill doesn't help against Psionic attacks. Psy strength helps vs. mind control and bravery helps vs. panicking attacks. Unfortunately, you can't raise Psy strength and it's very hard to raise Bravery - this means if your soldier is suspectable to psionic attacks when you hire him, he'll remain that way throught the game. I've noticed that Alien Psykers deliberately attack your most vulnerable soldiers.
When going to Mars, forget anyone with Psy strength less than 50 and maybe also anyone with Bravery less that 40. The greatest threat on Mars is being blown to bits by your own Blaster Launchers.
