About This Book

The authors compile clinical observations and allied reports to define the variety of war-related nervous disorders grouped under shell-shock, emphasizing the multiplicity of symptoms and individual differences in presentation. They survey causal factors, practical treatments used in military hospitals, and psychological methods for analysis and re-education aimed at restoring function. Case-based discussion supports recommendations for prompt, sympathetic intervention and outlines organizational measures for care. The final chapters extract broader lessons about public attitudes, the need for scientific psychiatry, and applying humane wartime practices to civilian mental-health services after the conflict.
