Abstract

1. About 42 per cent. of patients admitted to a Royal Air Force special Rheumatic Centre over a period of 12 months showed significant psychological disorder. 2. This group of 42 patients who complained of a generalized bodily pain is described. It was considered that the disability was essentially psychogenic. 3. The causation, treatment, and disposal of such cases are discussed and case histories are described. We are indebted to Air Commodore J. J. Conybeare and Air Commodore R. D. Gillespie for their advice and criticism during the preparation of this paper.
