This lecture starts from the general assumption that the way in which mentally broken partisan soldiers in Yugoslavia were dealt with did not differ fundamentally from the ways in which former WWII army soldiers were treated in other countries. Psychiatric thinking here and there did not include war as a causal factor for soldiers’ mental breakdown in war. A psychiatric thinking, which held individual predisposition of the soldier to be more important than the influence of war, affected the Yugoslav schizophrenic soldier as well as the war neurotic Austrian soldier, the US soldier suffering from anxiety syndromes or the Soviet soldier suffering from “kontuzija”. However, the way how the Yugoslav mentally damaged soldiers were dealt with after WWII was special in a number of ways.
