Russian/Soviet Military Psychiatry, 1904-1945
Covering Russian/Soviet military psychiatry from its first practical experience during the Russo-Japanese war to its greatest test during the Great Patriotic War 1941-45, this study emphasizes the continuity between Russian and Soviet military
A War of Nerves
Drawing on a vast range of sources, this is a study of how war wounds men's minds and of medicine's efforts to heal the damage done. At once a historical narrative and intellectual detective story, it tells the full story of shell-shock, explaining the aftermath of wars such as Vietnam.
Psychiatry in the British Army in the Second World War
Originally published in 1958, this account of the work of psychiatrists in the British Army during the Second World War is based on the study of all available documents, published and unpublished, as well as on the author’s first-hand experience of the clinical and administrative aspects of Army psychiatry. It deals not only with the wartime problems presented by the high incidence of mental illness, and the large numbers of mentally backward and maladjusted men (as they were termed then) in the Service, but also with the methods developed for the selection and efficient use of personnel and officers in the face of acute shortage of man-power; the psychiatric aspects of discipline, morale, training and prolonged service overseas; the treatment and evacuation of psychiatric battle casualties in the forward areas, under difficult and varied conditions; the rehabilitation of disabled ex-servicemen, and the civil resettlement of repatriated prisoners of war.
Military Psychiatry
The problem of battle stress has become a major factor in the question of military effectiveness. Current estimates suggest that modern armies are likely to lose between forty and fifty percent of their total strength as a result of psychiatric collapse. The first work of its kind ever published in the field of comparative military psychiatry, this book draws together a cross-cultural analysis of the discipline as practiced by the armies of the United States, Germany, Israel, and the Soviet Union.

Shell Shock to PTSD
The application of psychiatry to war and terrorism is highly topical and a source of intense media interest. Shell Shock to PTSD explores the central issues involved in maintaining the mental health of the armed forces and treating those who succumb to the intense stress of combat. Drawing on historical records, recent findings and interviews with veterans and psychiatrists, Edgar Jones and Simon Wessely present a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of military psychiatry. The psychological disorders suffered by servicemen and women from 1900 to the present are discussed and related to contemporary medical priorities and health concerns. This book provides a thought-provoking evaluation of the history and practice of military psychiatry, and places its findings in the context of advancing medical knowledge and the developing technology of warfare. It will be of interest to practicing military psychiatrists and those studying psychiatry, military history, war studies or medical history.
