Recoil correction to adiabatic nuclear potential in the symmetrical pseudoscalar meson theory with pseudovector coupling is calculated up to the first order in the nucleon velocities by means of the F-S-T formalism1) which is formulated by taking into account the normalization condition for the Tamm-Dancoff amplitude. Divergences which appear in the course of the calculations are subtracted by a sort of non-covariant renormalization procedure. Resultant correction consists of two parts, spin-orbit coupling part and velocity-independent part. The former is found to be of the correct sign and suitable magnitude as required by the theory of nuclear shell model.
