Veterans Wives
Should Discount
Scare Advice
BY RUTH MILLETT

The average wife has been given
SO much conflicting and frightening
advice on how to handle her man
when he comes home from war that
she has begun to feel that it isn't
Joe who is coming back where he
belongs, but some erratic stranger.
But she can take the word of a
leading psychiatrist, Dr. Wilbur R.
Miller, that she can relax-it really
will be JCe
DR.. Miller, head of the department
of psychiatry in the College of Medi-
cine at the University of Iowa, says:
Wives should realize that the men
who made good adjustment to
army life and managed to become
good soldiers are pliable enough in
their personalities to adjust them
selves without too much difficulty
to the demands of civilian life, here
at home"
AS for the men coming back fun
damentally changed, he thinks their
number will be comparatively few,
since the personality even of an 18-
year-old is pretty rugged set of
responses"
He does point out that one type
of normal individual will find the
adjustment to civilian life no easy
matter.
He IS the one who led an ordered,
routine existence before he entered
the service, and reacted to every ex-
perience in life according to a set
group of responses Army life was
in the beginning hard on such a man.
But once he adjusted himself to
its demands and routine, he traded
his old set CT responses for new
Set-which he has probably come
to lean on heavily and to depend
on. His very dependence on such
an ordered existence will make it
extremely hard for him to start
making decisions and to assume the
responsibility for making his way
in competitive civilian life.
But since he did manage one
satisfactory adjusement - the one
from civilian to army life-given
time, he will be able to make the
adjustment in reverse.
DR.. Miller warns that wives who
recognize their husbands as belong
ing to this personality type should
remember that it will take time for
them to adjust and their wives
should be patient and net worry or
become upset because their hus-
bands don't quickly find themselves.
He points out that the man who is
slow to adjust shouldn't be regarded
as i'll OF queer Because he isn't.
But he should be let alone to work
out his problems in his own way.
without being nagged, or hurried
or even babied
And he thinks that to counter
balance the scare advice they are
getting from all sides wives should
remember that their army expert
ences have been of real benefit to
many men. Because of such broad
ening experiences many men are GO
ing to find themselves, and will
know mere surely than ever before
what they have to offer and what
they want to get from life.
