Summary

During the Arab-Israeli war of 1973 measures had to be taken by the kibbutz civilian population in Israel to cope with the stresses of war. The measures adopted, and the specific characteristics of an organized cohesive group, appear to have succeeded in reducing the severity of the reactions to stress and in lowering the incidence of psychiatric casualties among children and adult members of the kibbutzim.
