Synopsis

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.
