“…Starrin psychiatric illness concept to legitimatize definitions of military unfitness have been found (Starrin & Larsson, 1980). Similar results have been found in other countries (Daniels, 1969;Halleck, 1972;Robitscher, 1980). In the debate it has been claimed that exemption on a psychiatric base on the one hand might be advantageous to the individuals concerned.…”

About eight percent of all male Swedish eighteen‐year‐olds are exempted from military service on a psychiatric basis annually. From the perspective of the labelling theory of mental illness, the aim of this paper was to study some consequences on other people's perception of individuals who have been exempted on this basis. An experiment was performed with two different groups of subjects; 81 conscripts and 61 students of personnel administration. The subjects were to listen to a tape‐recorded description of a car accident and to evaluate its causes. A brief description of the life history of the driver was given which included a “label”. It was foud that with a psychiatric exemption label the accident was attribuited significantly more to factors internal to the driver than to external factors, as compared to a general problems‐living label.

“…Daniels ( 1969) resultat visar klart att nlir psykiater inlemmas i en organisation sa tenderar organisationen upphava den slutliga kontroll och auktoritet som normalt, enligt den klassiska teorin, skall handhas av psykiatern. Detta Ieder inte sallan till konflikt mellan professionens vlirdesystem och organisationens vlirdesystem.…”

“…Here, he or she would gain satisfaction from population-based preventive interventions and from influencing social policy and corporate practices. Daniels's (1969) notion of the captive professional is useful here. Daniels found that military psychiatrists were captive, in that they were severely constrained in their practice: Rather than helping people identify and work on emotional problems, these physicians were charged with maintaining a disciplined military workforce.…”

This article analyzes 1,609 responses to a Massachusetts survey on physicians' knowledge and practice in the detection and treatment of environmentally induced illness. One would assume that practicing in a Superfund site area would heighten awareness among physicians. Yet physicians who practice in communities with Superfund sites are no more knowledgeable about environmental health hazards than those who practice in communities without Superfund sites. Physicians specializing in occupational/preventive medicine are the most knowledgeable about environmental health hazards, whereas obstetrician/gynecologists are the least knowledgeable. Self-rated knowledge of environmental health hazards was found to be strongly related to knowledge about the Right-to-Know law and also to the likelihood of asking questions about workplace and nonworkplace environmental exposures. Physicians who perceive that nonworkplace environmental hazards are very important are more knowledgeable about medical interviewing, diagnostic criteria, and the Right-to-Know law than those who rate environmental health hazard information as "irrelevant to my practice." This article examines the role of physicians in the detection and treatment of environmentally induced illness. It is important to investigate these issues because of increasing scientific knowledge of toxic health
