A follow-up study of war neuroses.: Psychiatric Aspects of the Preservice History. The subjects of this study constitute an extremely heterogeneous group from the psychiatric point of view, but comparatively few were really very sick at the time they entered service. There is a moderate amount of psychopathology in their backgrounds, but one certainly does not obtain the impression that these men were necessarily so predisposed to psychiatric illness as to make it certain that they would break down. One would thus not regard them, as a group, as failures on the part of examiners appointed to screen out the unfit, although this would certainly be true of a small minority. One must look to the military situation, replete with its emotional stresses, for the key to their psychoneuroses, expecting again to find a highly variable situation.

Abstract

The subjects of this study constitute an extremely heterogeneous group from the psychiatric point of view, but comparatively few were really very sick at the time they entered service. There is a moderate amount of psychopathology in their backgrounds, but one certainly does not obtain the impression that these men were necessarily so predisposed to psychiatric illness as to make it certain that they would break down. One would thus not regard them, as a group, as failures on the part of examiners appointed to screen out the unfit, although this would certainly be true of a small minority. One must look to the military situation, replete with its emotional stresses, for the key to their psychoneuroses, expecting again to find a highly variable situation.
