Shades of Gray

Portrays through dramatized situations and case histories various mental disorders experienced by soldiers during training and combat ranging from mild anxiety states to severe depressive reactions and paranoid psychoses; traces the life patterns of each affected soldier and relates his early familial and environmental experiences to the circumstances which precipitate his mental breakdown; demonstrates methods of psychotherapy, including emotional catharsis, narcoanalysis, hypnotic suggestions, and group therapy, and makes the point that in terms of mental health, no one is either "black" or "white"; everyone is a shade of "gray."
