Ludwig describes a special type of war neurosis which occurred after long combat experience. The clinical picture was characterized by slowly mounting anxiety culminating in a clinical syndrome in which apathy and emptiness were in the foreground. Ludwig stresses the psychodynamic importance of leadership, personal pride, guilt, and political orientation. He does not stress deprivation specifically as the most significant factor in this type of reaction.
