Description: 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."
