A follow-up study of war neuroses.Treatment since separation from service.

A follow-up study of war neuroses.: Treatment since separation from service. Although an estimated 35 percent of the men in this study were treated for psychiatric symptoms following separation from service, in about 20 percent, or over half of them, treatment was symptomatic and administered by a nonpsychiatrist. Interest in treatment is twofold: (1) As an indicator of illness, it provides a rough tool for exploring differential rates of recovery; and (2) as a constructive step on the part of the ill, its study reveals to some extent the steps which have been taken to cope with illness. The effect of treatment cannot be discerned in these data, so confounded is treatment with prognosis.

Abstract

Although an estimated 35 percent of the men in this study were treated for psychiatric symptoms following separation from service, in about 20 percent, or over half of them, treatment was symptomatic and administered by a nonpsychiatrist. Interest in treatment is twofold: (1) As an indicator of illness, it provides a rough tool for exploring differential rates of recovery; and (2) as a constructive step on the part of the ill, its study reveals to some extent the steps which have been taken to cope with illness. The effect of treatment cannot be discerned in these data, so confounded is treatment with prognosis. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
