Description
Summary:	The authors report the relationship between psychological disturbances and duodenal ulcer, and discuss the conclusions of three studies carried out in military personnel. The group of young adults during war time, permitted them to analyse the role of psychological trauma in the onset and relapse of this disease. In young soldiers during peace time, there was significant affective immaturity. Finally, a study of young adults before call up, permitted comparison with military personnel. Rather than a study of specific characteristics, it appears that one should consider their dynamic organisation in order to understand the onset of symptoms.
