    Abstract

    The Gulf War led to an anticipated missile attack on the Israeli civilian population. Psychotic inpatients in a locked ward repeatedly had to enter a sealed room and put on gas masks, after air raid sirens were sounded. Despite absence of psychological preparation, the patients cooperated well and no exacerbations of psychosis were noted.
