TO ihc Editor Of the ErcmjHg PVJii" LcdyCr:
Sir--A recent newspaper article reports
war psychoneurosis' as the medical terms
supcrsedng 'shell shock" at the war risk
bureau. Medical literature adopted this
term long since, and some authorities held
that the condition developing under the stress
of the battlefront argued a ''pre war psy
choneurosis," >" the patient assumed to have
COLLAPSED because of an innate or pre- exist
ing neurosis.
In this altruistic day it is not surprising
to read in the article referred to that the
German authority Kaufman, whose
"brutality treatment" had a lamentable
vogue, is discredited, and that our war risk
bureau's experts have found sanitarium
treatment in comfortable and attractive sur
.roundings the beneficial method, And it is
also refreshing to learn that these experts
are finding the contrast in tension and con-
ditions of living sufficient cause for the
illness. without imputing to the patient some
nrc existing disease not disclosed by the
nbysical and psychological examinations at
the time OF Induction and training,
That the public may better understand
