Extract

There lie before me notes of some two hundred odd cases of the so-called war neuroses, the majority of which come under the heading of anxiety neurosis. Roughly about 80 per cent, are cases of anxiety neurosis, 6 to 8 per cent, anxiety hysterias, about the same number conversion hysterias, the remainder being psychoses. It is with the first I propose to deal almost exclusively.
