AN OVERVIEW OF THE PSYCHOANALYTIC APPROACH TO THE WAR NEUROSES The
survivors of traumatic events have long been known to suffer
psychological sequelae. Of all possible stressors, combat is one of
the most devastating. Wartime exposes its victim to a myriad of
stimuli that are far beyond those of civilized life. The impact
that remains can affect generations to come. In recent years there
has been a paucity of research on the long term effects of battle.
Particularly after the recent war there was initially an
inclination to minimize the psychological impact of combat. It was
only after concerted effort by a few dedicated clini cians that
formal recognition was granted to the current version of the war
neuroses. In the parlance of the day it was called the Post
traumatic Stress Disorder (Figley, 1978). This phenomenologic
diagnosis has been instrumental in bringing the necessary attention
to this condition. Its applicability has been tested across a wide
range of stressors, from man-made to natural. Few workers in the
field now doubt the power of traumatic events to leave a profound
impression on the victim. Contrary to previous thought, it has now
been found that this imprint often becomes a chronic scar.
