The authors reviewed the case records of a random sample of 126 Australian Vietnam veteran inpatients, recorded the diagnostic and background data, and made new DSM-III diagnoses. Neurotic disorders accounted for 49% of the primary or secondary diagnoses. Only 10% of the overall sample had a primary diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder but 27% of the veterans who had seen combat had a primary diagnosis of the disorder. Twenty-nine percent of the overall sample were given a primary diagnosis of alcohol abuse or dependence. The early developmental environment of the overall sample frequently included poor parent-child relationships, high rates of parental separation, and family histories dominated by parental alcohol abuse.
作者回顾了126名澳大利亚越战退伍军人住院患者的随机样本的病历记录，记录了诊断和背景数据，并做出了新的《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM-III）诊断。神经症占主要或次要诊断的49%。在整个样本中，只有10%的人被初步诊断为创伤后应激障碍，但在参加过战斗的退伍军人中，有27%的人被初步诊断为该障碍。在整个样本中，29%的人被初步诊断为酒精滥用或酒精依赖。整个样本的早期成长环境常常包括不良的亲子关系、高比例的父母离异，以及以父母酒精滥用为主的家族病史。
