Research Abstract

In this study, I analyzed medical records of the patients diagnosed as schizophrenia who were admitted to Kohnodai Military Hospital or Musashi Military Sanatorium during the Asia-Pacific war, organizing these historical materials for the purpose of constructing the archive. This study explored how the Imperial Japanese Army and medical officers treated psychiatric patients and it also shedded light on "patient's history" such as relationship between patients and families and their self recognition.
