“…In South Korea, all males aged 18 years or older are obligated to perform military service for a certain period. New recruits should be able to withstand the psychological stress and pressures of rapid adaptation to the unique and new environment of the military [ 1 , 2 ]. The military authority is making efforts to continuously evaluate and manage the candidates who are ineligible for military service in each stage (i.e., conscription, training, and active) [ 3 ].…”

Objective This study aimed (1) to identify distinct subgroups of psychiatric patients referred for a mental health certificate for military service suitability and (2) to determine whether there is a difference in clinical features such as treatment responsiveness and prognosis among certain subgroups. Methods We conducted latent profile analysis (LPA) using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) clinical profiles of the participants. Linear mixed model analysis was performed to examine changes in the severity of clinical symptoms and functional level according to the treatment period of the latent classes derived from the LPA. Results The results indicated that the best-fitting model was a three-class model, comprising Class 1 (mild maladjustment), Class 2 (neurotic depression and anxiety), and Class 3 (highly vulnerable and hypervigilant). We demonstrated that the three subgroups displayed different characteristics in treatment responsiveness and clinical course based on their Clinical Global Impression-Severity and Global Assessment of Functioning scores over a treatment period of 6 months. While subjects in Classes 1 and 2 significantly improved over 6 months, those in Class 3 showed little or no improvement in our clinical parameters. Conclusion This study has yielded data with clinical implications for treatment planning and interventions for each subgroup classified that were based on MMPI-2 clinical profiles of military recruits who might be maladjusted to serve.

“…There are, as Friedman 5 observed, many soldiers with limited ego skill,; who cannot adjust to military life. Foley6 acknow1ledged ,this by undertaking group treatment with newly enlisted airmen, accepting that some groups were primarily for the rehabilitation of men to be discharged, whilst seeking to retain others who had developed and matured as a result of group involvement.…”
