戦傷精神障がい元軍人・軍属からの聴き取り
‘05年3月末現在、戦傷病者特別擁護法により受療している戦傷精神障がい元軍人・軍属は143人（入院84人、入院外59人）。入院している病院は1道1都1府33県にわたる。　　
‘02年以降、4病院・1社会福祉施設を訪問、9人（平均年齢82歳、多くは統合失調症）に面会。コミュニケーションの困難な者が多かったが、戦場・軍隊の体験を語る者もいた。医師、看護師、ソーシャルワーカーから病歴や病院との関係について説明を受け、可能な限り『病床日誌』（軍隊でのカルテ）を閲覧・検討した。全体をとして、精神的・社会的にはいわば〝未復員〝状態のまま人生を終えようとしていると言えよう。

An interview with war wounded officers / civilian employees suffering from mental disorder
At the end of March, 2005, there were 143 war wounded officers / civilian employees suffering from mental disorder, under medical examination and treatment by war-wound invalid special protection method. (84 people were hospitalized). The hospitals spread all over Japan (36 prefectures including Tokyo)
After 2002, I visited 4 Hospitals and one social welfare institution and met nine people (Average age 82 years old, most are schizophrenia). There were many difficulties in communicating with them, but there was one person who told of his experience of battlefield / the armed forces. I also read “sick person’s diary” (a patient’s record in the armed forces) as much as possible and examined a medical history and relations with a hospital in response to explanation from a doctor, a nurse, a social worker. It may be said that these men , who are at the last stage of their lives, still remain in the state of soldiers: and not yet released from their military service.
