Abstract

The author attempts to describe the various psychiatric reactions observed in cadets during the preflight and primary phases of pilot training. The dynamics of the different conflicts are presented from the standpoint of the instinct of self-preservation. The author believes that the ability to adjust is dependent upon the successful repression and suppression of fears. Other instincts and other mechanisms of defense are not mentioned.
