Title: A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE PEACE TIME PSYCHIATRIC CASUALTY RATES OF PARACHUTISTS AND NON-PARACHUTISTS.
Authors: Windle, Charles, Parker, Harold E.

Abstract: The article presents a comparative study between the peace time psychiatric casualty rates of parachutists and non-parachutists. The suggestions that parachutists suffer psychiatric disorders because of the personality characteristics which induce them to volunteer for this unique type of service or because of the hazardous nature of their duty have not been borne out by the present data. On the other hand, the observations that paratroopers are prone to aggressive types of reactions seems to be correct when a contrast is made against other types of breakdowns. Although there appears to be no difference in the proportion of jumpers and non-jumpers with passive-aggressive reactions, amoral or anti-social personality, alcoholism or behavior disorders, if a jumper does receive psychiatric attention he is more apt to fall into one of these categories than is a non-jumper psychiatric casualty.
