Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed exploration of the mental and physical conditions that emerged amongst soldiers during the First World War, collectively known as 'shell shock'. The term was coined as gunshot wounds were initially considered the sole cause, but the text reveals that such cases formed a small minority with the majority arising from exhaustion, stress and fear. For centuries, military professionals had understood that the horrors of war caused mental breakdowns but the First World War saw an unprecedented increase in cases due to its industrialised scale, prolonged trench warfare and technological advancements in weaponry. The author provides an in-depth analysis of symptoms, drawing on hundreds of case studies. The text also examines the evolution of medical knowledge during the war and the shift in military attitudes toward mental illness. As the conflict progressed, a more compassionate and scientific approach to treatment emerged, resulting in the establishment of dedicated centres for psychological care and research into the condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781527879898_0
