Abstract：
:Post-traumatic stress disorder evolved from the concepts of shell shock and traumatic war neurosis. In Vietnam veterans, the disorder is associated with unemployment, marital discord, alcoholism and increased autonomic system response to perceived symbols of war trauma. A combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy is the recommended treatment.
