United States Army Let There Be Light AVA04168VNB! - PMF 5019 - 1946 About 20% of all battle casualties in the American Army during World War II were of a neuropsychiatric nature. The special treatment methods shown in this film, such as hypnosis and narcosynthesis, have been particularly successful in acute cases, such as battle neurosis. Equal success is not to be expected when dealing with peacetime neuroses which are usually of a chronic nature. No scenes were staged. The cameras merely recorded what took place in an Army Hospital.
