Am J Orthopsychiatry. 1975 Jan;45(1):158-163. doi: 10.1111/j.1939-0025.1975.tb01177.x.

Abstract

Recent studies and clinical reports concerning Vietnam returnees have led to contradictory conclusions as to maladjustment. A questionnaire and symptom checklist was obtain-d from 207 veterans. Significant differences in the mean number of symptoms (e.g., recurrent nightmares, fears, etc.) were found between the combat and non-combat groups.
