Abstract

The structure, functioning, and treatment concept of a psychodynamically oriented psychiatric unit for young soldiers within an Israeli civilian hospital are discussed stressing: (1) the integration of the patient’s military self; (2) the resolution of psychological conflicts necessary to avoid traumatic developmental arrest of the patient’s personality and to foster personality growth; (3) the involvement of the patient’s family in the therapeutic process. Problems in the patient–therapist relationship specifically pertaining to Israeli conditions are outlined.
