Goldstein and Rottersman have for almost three years served as psychiatrists at an induction station. As a result of their experiences they have found many obvious weaknesses and flaws in the present system of psychiatric examination at induction centers and they have certain specific recommendations to make which would better the present set-up. They suggest that at all stations the following procedures be followed: (1) Psychiatric questionnaires for everybody. (2) Rorschach group screening test. (3) Minnesota multiphasic personality test. (4) Organic disease questionnaire. (5) Psychiatric interview. (6) Social Service records from the schools, doctors, etc. All this they believe would be of immense value in screening out the psychotic, psychopath and psychoneurotic and thus reduce the high rate of psychiatric discharges.
