Much of this number of Mental Hygiene is devoted to the psychiatric problems of the veteran. General Bradley's thoughtful paper can be read with great benefit by all concerned with such problems, and with particular benefit by those of us who, absorbed in the minutiæ of clinical experience, all too frequently lose sight of certain fundamental objective realities. Bradley emphasizes sharply the importance of a job in the rehabilitation of the healthy and of the maladjusted veteran. One can only agree that in our absorption with his internal problems, there is a real risk of losing sight of the palliative and alleviating effects of a healthy employment situation in the veteran's reconversion. As for society's rôle, more good works are needed to implement the many good intentions.
There can be no doubt of Bradley's sincerity nor of his determination to utilize, through the Veterans' Administration, a 'combined push' of all available resources to effect the objectives which appear so good on paper.
