Leo cooper Books, Barnsley. 1997 First Edition ISBN 9780850525625 218pp Illustrated hardback.This mint unread copy is bound in cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine, tight, white, bright and square. The price clipped dust wrapper is in mint condition. In this book Anthony Babington argues that the First World War marked a turning point in understanding and treating the psychiatric casualties of war. Prior to the twentieth century, psychiatric breakdown in battle was observed and noted under categories such as "nostalia" (general melancholy), "irritable heart" (stress reaction to physical and/or mental strain), and "windage" (symptoms of shock due to near misses from shell-fire), but the general "official" attitude of armies was that of scepticism to mental breakdown, viewing this as probable cowardice. With the First World War, attitudes changed. From late 1914 onwards, Army doctors became increasingly sophisticated: they understood shell-shock as an independent type of casualty, one which was psychological in origin (that it was not strictly due to the commotional effects of shells exploding, but rather was a heterogeneous collection of different nervous disorder ranging from concussion to sheer funk). They developed methods of treatment to relieve hysterical conversion symptoms, and return men to the front. Ref G2. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 014755
