Neville's psychiatrist friend leaves the army at the end of 1945
Description
Neville contrasts his own early exit from the army -- an honorable discharge he says he secured in March 1943 through an imaginal act, sleeping as though he were already home -- with a Freudian psychiatrist friend who stayed in uniform, unconvinced, until the war's actual end, mustering out only at the close of 1945. The friend, trained to trust the evidence of his senses, never even answered the letter in which Neville described his own discharge.
