title: [Supplementary remarks on post-traumatic reactions].
abstract: The post-traumatic reaction, at least in the group of soldiers under discussion, consisted in the conflict between their courage and moral, on one hand, and the fear of death, on the other. We should consider the great majority of these soldiers as good human and war material, not prone to cowardice or neglect of their duties. In spite of this, it was obvious in their case that human endurance is not unlimited. Their desease was not a subconscious simulation, but a real case of conversion hysteria at some of them, and the anxiety hysteria, accompanied by the nightmares, at the others. The disclosing psychotherapy, started immediately and conducted in concentrated form, led to self-awareness and to complete recovery.
