Abstract
Institutional role pressures make it difficult for psychiatrists to escape prevailing prejudices to ostracize, exclude, or punish non-conformists. This paper identifies antitherapeutic defenses employed by military psychiatrists in dealing with dissenters, and describes their operation. It is suggested that the pressures on the psychiatrist that can be observed with particular clarity in the military are, in fact, ubiquitous, as society looks increasingly to the psychiatrist to deal with fundamental social issues.
