Tantrum or Neurosis?

Medicine, which puts its problems in purely scientific terms was asked a skeptical question last week. Said the Christian Century, an undenominational church weekly apropos the 1,556,000 men rejected or discharged from the U.S. fighting services on mental grounds:

"Perhaps the psychiatrists, now for the first time having a chance on a large scale . . . are having a field day. . . . It is easy to believe that an undisciplined boy with a spoiled-child complex, an aversion to Army life, a dislike for doing what he is told or a fear of personal injury, gets no help from having his tantrums or fears dignified into psychoneuroses and phobias and learning to talk about himself in psychiatric terms. If ten thousand osteopaths were added to the examining staff, there would probably be an amazing increase in the number of draftees whose vertebrae are found to be out of line."
