A symposium on Expatriate Stress and Breakdown was held on 27 October 1983 in London under the auspices of Guy's Hospital and Charter Medical to bring together psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists and physicians with an interest in occupational health. Since the 1920s, when one-fifth of the British employees of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company suffered from ‘tropical neurasthenia’, little has been published on this topic.
