Abstract
In discussions of the problems of the control of prisoner-of-war behavior after the Korean War, much attention was given to the phrase: “every man has a breaking point.” Dr. Wolff, in this paper, expresses views on this topic, based upon his examination of the historical record of prisoners of war in the light of scientific knowledge regarding human reactions to environmental stress. He has given particular attention to the problem of interrogation, but his discussion has broader relevance. Dr. Wolff's paper is submitted as a “by-product” of this study for the value it may have for officers concerned with “Code of Conduct” training problems. A comprehensive bibliography of sources of information on this topic is contained in another special report of this study.1
