happen to own one-a member Of
your own family and then you
know he is also a bundle of mental
and spiritual problems.
The authorities of the armed
forces recognize this and have set
up methods of trying to help out
these troubles. For, while they are
not sentimentally concerned over
the personal happiness of Private
A. or Sailor H., they are concerned
with morale! And in order to keep
it at high level they apply what
the man in the street very proper
ly calls psychology.
Where can the soldier or sailor
turn for help in his private prob
lens? The Soldiers Handbook
says that if a man wants to see
his company commander all he
needs to do is to request permis-
sion from the first sergeant. The
company commander may help,
but he has many other duties
and he may not want TO put his
relationship to the soldier on such
a personal basis.
The doctor, or psychologist, at
q training center has about all he
can do to tend to the severe neu-
rotic patients among 5000 to
$4,000 men. So, as by present ar
rangement, group of advisers
has been appointed, usually nom
commissioned officers selected by
the sergeant in charge.
The advisers are given training
by lectures in the nature of the
services they can render, the regu-
lations covering these situations
and a fairly intensive course Of
instruction in mental hygiene.
Some Of the problems the ad-
visers have to tackle are as fol-
lows:
Private x. was emotionally dis
tressed, cried frequently and was
obviously getting little out Of his
training. The adviser learned that
he was excessively attached TO his
mother and had never been away
from home. Moreover. his mother
wrote him almost daily pathetic
letters complaining of her suffer
ings and her difficulties in adjust
ing herself to his absence. Private
K. was given an insight into the
exaggerated. nature of his de-
pendence on his mother, and a
frank letter was sent to the mother
asking her not to upset the boy
with her "gripes". The boy was
thrown with groups who under
took to socialize him so that he
would become a mature man.
Other Case Histories
Private Y. had a great deal Of
difficulty in drill, marching, and
especially in doing double time.
The adviser was convinced he was
not a neurotic and was not trying
to get out o. duty. Long question
ing revealed that in childhood he
had had a fever which was fol-
lowed by prolonged weakness Of
the muscles Of the legs. Although
this had not been discovered on a
routine medical examination, a
special consultation revealed that
he had once had infantile paralysis
which left him with a residual
weakness of coordination of his
leg muscles and he was reclassified
for limited service.
Private z. was unhappy because
he felt he was qualified for service
in the Intelligence Department.
The adviser found he had a Con-
tinental background and an excel
lent knowledge of European lam
guages. On this recommendation
the transfer TO Intelligence was
made and Private 2. was happy
again.
