This paper, which is illustrated by a detailed case history of an officer in the Regular Army Reserve of Officers, sets out to demonstrate that war neurosis is not a speeific entity but rather the

precipitation of an already existing neurosis or psychosis. The necessity of resolving immediate traumatic war conflicts before the deeper causes of the illness can be understood is clearly shown. The paper is divided into five parts: (1) The war neurosis. (2) The tracing of the illness to its early foundations. (3) Illustrations of transference resistances. (4) Description of the more positive aspects of the transference. (5) A discussion on the psycho-pathology of the case. In this final section Dr. Berg discusses the conflict between the Oedipus and the inverted Oedipus situations and shows the problems arising from attempts to deal with unconscious homosexual phantasies in an environment consisting mainly of men.
