Gregg philosophizes upon the lessons that war offers psychiatrists. They had an opportunity to learn at first hand the importance and power of morale; group therapy and psychotherapy under sedation were refined and expanded. The value of having a psychiatric team composed of psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and social workers was established. The grossly inadequate training in psychiatry given in our medical schools was thoroughly proven. Gregg concludes with the hope that the many pleasant and unpleasant surprises experienced by the medical profession will not be too soon forgotten.
