Book Description
Excerpt from War Neuroses and Shell Shock MY friend Brevet lieut.-col. F. W. Mott, has given me the privilege of saying a few words of intro duction to his valuable book on W ar Neuroses and Shell Shock. Its importance will be obvious to all members of the medical profession, for the problems with which it deals will, unhappily, remain with us long after the end of the War. But it seems to me well to emphasise the fact that the book is above all a record of astonishing success in the treatment of disorders which at first sight, and to all laymen who encounter them as relatives or friends of the sufferers, must appear peculiarly painful, mysterious, and intractable. Since the outbreak of War the author has devoted his whole time to the investigation and treatment of cases of War Neurosis and Shell Shock, first at the Neurological Section of the 4th London General Hospital and later at the Maudsley Neurological Clearing Hospital. He has therefore had unusual opportunities of studying the subject, and this work is based mainly upon his own experience, although foreign literature is quoted freely, especially the important work of the French Neurologists.

Book Description
Excerpt from War Neuroses The account of the neuroses of war set forth in this book was written primarily for the instruction of the medical profession in America. Dr MacCurdy came to this country in 1917 to inquire into the nature of the problems which were about to confront the neurologists and psychiatrists of America through the participation of that country in the war. The experience he gained was originally recorded in the "Psychiatric Bulletin" of the New York State Hospitals in July, 1917, and the Cambridge University Press are greatly indebted to the editors of this journal for their permission to make Dr MacCurdy's work accessible to the public in another form. The book describes the experience of one with a long record of skilful investigation of the psycho-neuroses of civil life when brought into contact in British hospitals with the special forms of neurosis which are produced by the shocks and strains of warfare. The cases on which the book is based are not startling rarities especially selected to show features of scientific interest, but are characteristic straightforward cases such as may be met with by the score in any hospital especially devoted to functional nervous disorders. The merit of the book lies, not in the nature of its material, but in the skill with which this material has been treated and the clearness with which the essential facts have been set down and utilized to illustrate the special problems presented by the neuroses of war. The great frequency o functional nervous disorders in the present war has made a subject which was formerly a somewhat narrow specialist one with which every practitioner of medicine has been forced to become familiar.

The Poetry of Shell Shock
Author: Daniel HippPublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786421746
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
The British poets Wilfred Owen, Ivor Gurney, and Siegfried Sassoon found themselves psychologically altered by what they experienced in the First World War. Owen was hospitalized in April 1917 for "shell shock" in Scotland, where he met Siegfried Sassoon in June of that year, hospitalized for the same affliction. Ivor Gurney found the war, ironically, to have been a place of relative stability within an otherwise tormented life; When he was wounded during the war's final year, his doctors observed signs of mental illness, which evolved into incapacitating psychosis by 1922. For each of these men--all poets before the war--poetry served as a way to inscribe continuity into their lives, enabling them to retaliate against the war's propensity to render the lives of the participants discontinuous. Poetry allowed them to return to the war through memory and imagination, and poetry helped them to bring themselves back from psychological breakdown to a state of stability, based upon a relationship to the war that their literary war enabled them to create and discover. This work investigates the ways in which the poetry of war functioned as a means for these three men to express the inexpressible and to extract value out of the experience of war. Bibliography and index are also included. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
