'Shell-Shock and Other Neuropsychiatric Problems' by Elmer Ernest Southard is a groundbreaking compilation of 589 case records drawn from medical literature during the first three years of World War I.

While primarily intended for physicians, this book also holds interest for line officers, rehabilitation specialists, and vocationalists, who can benefit from the data presented in the Treatment and Results section. With its comprehensive coverage of neuropsychiatric problems, this volume is a must-read for anyone interested in military and civil medicine history.

Book Description
Shell shock was the signature injury of the First World War. Military doctors during the conflict on the Western Front observed and personally experienced psychiatric states they had never witnessed before. This text reviews the published medical literature of that era which graphically detailed the clinical states of hysteria (conversion disorder) and neurasthenia (anxiety and PTSD). Medical officers at the front evolved pragmatic medicinal, cognitive and behavioural interventions, still practised today, though never scientifically proven to be effective. The doctors, like their patients, endured numerous horrors at the front, which were, for many, to influence their post-war personal and professional lives. Much of what they wrote was forgotten and deserves reconsideration. Neuropsychiatry was founded in the shell craters of Flanders.
