Abstract
The authors explore the stress of war by reporting some selected epidemiological aspects of the psychiatric combat reactions among Israeli troops during a period of intensive hostilities in the Yom Kippur War of 1973. They examined the distribution of these casualties according to intensity of fire, age, rank, sociopsychological grading, and military assignment and measured treatment outcome at the end of the war and 18 months later.Keywords
