A Study of One Hundred Consecutive Army Cases

JACOB H. FRIEDMAN MC., AUS.1; GEORGE J. KASTLIN MC., AUS.1; and SAMUEL I. KOOPERSTEIN MC., AUS.1

1 The Neuro-Psychiatric Service and Medical Service of Bruns General Hospital, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

1. A psychosomatic study of one hundred army patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was made.

2. This study was conducted early in the course of pulmonary tuberculosis.

3. In these patients there are indications of a characteristic personality pattern.

4. The characteristic personality pattern found was used as the basis for an educational, occupational and recreational program.

5. It would appear to be important that further psychosomatic studies be made early and late in the course of pulmonary tuberculosis.
