First published in 1940, this book was written by Charles S. Myers,
who was Consulting Psychologist to the British Armies in France and
the First World War. Based on a war diary, it explains the work he
did in France and England for shell shock and shell concussion
cases, and, as he writes, may well serve 'to re-enlighten the
general public as to the nature of shell shock, and to convince
them how dependent it is on previous history and inherited
predisposition, on inadequate examination and selection of soldiers
for the front line, on lack of proper discipline and esprit de
corps; and how necessary it may be to adopt apparently harsh
measures in order to diminish the undoubted contagiousness of the
complaint.'
