Abstract
From the beginning of July 1991 till the end of April 1992 larger number of Croatian soldiers were sent to the psychiatric clinic and 13% of them were kept in hospital. All patients were arranged into 12 diagnostical groups and were analysed according their staying in Croatian army, previous medical treatment, according the place where aberration arised (fighting postion-background), and their ability for further staying in the army. Number of received patients at the clinic gradually have become larger as the agression on the township Osijek become stronger. Two dominant diagnostical groups are acute stress reaction and PTSD, and over 40% of patients were from these two groups. As we have expected the largest number of recoveries in those two groups and their return on the battlefield, such patients had priority in diagnosis, medicaltreatment and rehabilitation.
