✦ Synopsis

major symptomatology was emotional in nature, with character pathology second in frequency. The latter pathology resulted in disqualification much earlier than the former, a fact indicative of effective neurotic defences. The submariners who show these slowdeveloping neurotic symptoms appear to be reacting maladaptively to the stresses of the 60-d submarine patrols. Some etiological factors appear to be related to the role a man occupies within the crew, to the nature of the mission itself and, perhaps, to the length of the submarine patrols.
