Abstract
THIS very interesting and valuable work deals with the mental disorders encountered in the Army in peace and war. The author was, until the time of the armistice, in charge of D block at Netley, a clearing hospital through which passed practically all the mental cases arising in the various theatres of war. He has made every use of his very exceptional opportunities, not only carrying out careful observations and records of the 3000 cases which passed through his hands, but also following up the later history of these cases after their transfer from Netley to other hospitals.
