| Abstract: | It is a common belief that the upheaval of war is responsible fur a greater incidence of psychiatric illnesses among civilians than are bound to occur in peacetime. Such factors as fear, worry about the fate of relatives and sudden bereavements, are thought to act as precipitants of mental illness. It is understandable, therefore, that at the outbreak of war (1939) it was envisaged that a certain proportion of civilian casualties would be of a psychiatric nature. |
