Abstract
The findings on 200 psychiatrically disabled veterans and the results of their treatment indicate the worthwhileness of such projects. In the main most of these men were ready for help. Over half of them including involved psychoneurotics and other psychiatric conditions report themselves as much improved or recovered. Their rapid response to therapy is striking. The therapeutic process need not be time-consuming. Indeed those who show improvement do so following a very few interviews. The total organization of the clinic is important since it provides additional supportive therapy in the form of intelligence and aptitude testing, recreation, work placement and interpretation to the family. Clinics of this type serve a function of proven value.Abstract Teaser
