In All But Me and Thee; Psychiatry at the Foxhole Level, which was first published in 1946, Brigadier-General Elliott D. Cooke takes a look at psychoneurosis in the armed forces, and presents conclusions in a highly readable fashion."e;With a pleasantly informal and light approach, Brigadier-General Cooke presents the report of a non-medical line officer on the results of tracking down the problem of disability discharges. He and his associates followed the threads from commanders and units, to processing centers, hospitals, to overseas procedure in the individual cases; they talked with old psychiatrists and new, heard opinions, and made their final recommendations to General Marshall and presented their findings at a conference."e;All But Me and Thee examines the beefs of the men and the officers; of the Medical Corps against bearing the brunt of washing dirty linen for the line; knowledge of the distinction between forms of mental disabilities, from pre-Army predisposition to actual collapse; the change in the military attitude; and the differentiation from riding the sick to real casualties."e;An interesting handling of the subject."e;-Kirkus Review
