Extract

The following report is based on 150 men treated in hospital, and 300 patients, 50 of whom were women, seen at a diagnostic and advice centre.

As a rule, stresses and precipitating factors were more obvious or easily discoverable than in civilian life, adverse situations were more superficial, diagnosis and treatment were easier. Anyone who has conducted civilian clinics finds the change-over comparatively easy. Nevertheless, much of what follows is applicable to civilian work.
