Correction of Misinterpreted Data on the Psychiatric Status of Repatriated Vietnam Prisoners of War.

Abstract

In a review of literature pertaining to the psychiatric status of Vietnam RPWs during second year follow-up evaluations, it was discovered that some of the data had been poorly formulated and erroneously interpreted in published reports. The purpose of the present paper is to delineate the problem and to derive appropriate interpretations of the material. It is concluded that there was notably less pathology among RPWs during this period than had been implied in previous reports. (Author)
