The "Sick Book Rider" in an Overseas Military Prison

MORSE P. MANSON AGD 1 and HARRY M. GRAYSON AGD 1

1 Psychologists, MTOUSA DTC.

This study compares a group of 100 chronic "sick book riders" and 100 non-"sick book riders" in the largest overseas installation for American General Courts-Martial Prisoners. It presents significant statistics on the clinical and personality make-up of chronic complainers and indicates the relative incidence of various clinical categories. In addition, it evaluates the Cornell Selectee Index of psychoneurotic tendencies and finds it an effective differentiating measure between the two groups studied, thereby emphasizing the psychosomatic dynamics operating within the "sick book rider."
