During World War Two, death and violence permeated all aspects of
the everyday lives of ordinary people in Eastern Europe. Throughout
the region, the realities of mass murder and incarceration meant
that people learnt to live with daily public hangings of civilian
hostages and stumbled on corpses of their neighbors. Entire
populations were drawn into fierce and uncompromising political and
ideological conflicts, and many ended up being more than mere
victims or observers: they themselves became perpetrators or
facilitators of violence, often to protect their own lives, but
also to gain various benefits. Yugoslavia in particular saw a
gradual culmination of a complex and brutal civil war, which
ultimately killed more civilians than those killed by the foreign
occupying armies. Therapeutic Fascism tells a story of the
tremendous impact of such pervasive and multi-layered political
violence, and looks at ordinary citizens' attempts to negotiate
these extraordinary wartime political pressures. It examines
Yugoslav psychiatric documents as unique windows into this
harrowing history, and provides an original perspective on the
effects of wartime violence and occupation through the history of
psychiatry, mental illness, and personal experience. Using
previously unexplored resources, such as patients' case files,
state and institutional archives, and the professional medical
literature of the time, this volume explores the socio-cultural
history of wartime through the eyes of (mainly lower-class)
psychiatric patients. Ana Antic examines how the experiences of
observing, suffering, and committing political violence affected
the understanding of human psychology, pathology, and normality in
wartime and post-war Balkans and Europe.
