These impressions and statements con-cerning Japanese military psychiatry are based on an interview with Dr. Kijoto Kawaguchi, a thirty-three year old lieutenant in the Japanese medical corps who was born in ill-fated, atom-bombed Hiroshima and lived in Korea for twenty-five years. After graduation from Keijo(Seoul) Imperial Medical School in 1937 he trained in the neuropsychiatnic section of the University Hospital for five years. He received no psychoanalytic training. He then established his own private mental hospital for six months until called into the Japanese Army in 1942. Following custom he served as an ordinary soldier equivalent to our American private for eleven months, receiving a basic army indoctrination before he could begin practicing as a neuropsychiatrist. The Keijo Military Hospital had a maximum capacity of 1500 beds. At the time of this interview in September, 1945 the pa-tients numbered I ioo. Soldier patients from the entire vast north and central China fighting fronts, and Korea itself, streamed to the hospital for definitive treatment. The writer’s assignment to evacuate all Japanese patients and hospital personnel to Japan enabled him to gather the information for this article.
