N2  - Ten veterans who did not develop posttraumatic stress after intense combat in Vietnam were studied to explain what had protected them. The authors found a highly consistent adaptation to combat: During combat each of these veterans had exhibited calmness under pressure, intellectual control, acceptance of fear, and a lack of excessively violent or guilt-arousing behavior. The authors believe that these traits may be part of an adaptation uniquely suitable for preserving emotional stability in an unstructured, unstable context.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
