Extract

In recent years the mining industry as well as the miner himself have to an increasing extent become subjects for public discussion. In addition to problems of mechanization and industrial organization, the importance of the human element has found growing recognition, and an investigation into psychiatric disorders occurring in miners should form a useful contribution in this field.
