This transnational, interdisciplinary study of traumatic neurosis
moves beyond the existing histories of medical theory, welfare, and
symptomatology. The essays explore the personal traumas of soldiers
and civilians in the wake of the First World War; they also discuss
how memory and representations of trauma are transmitted between
patients, doctors and families across generations. The book argues
that so far the traumatic effects of the war have been
substantially underestimated. Trauma was shaped by gender,
politics, and personality. To uncover the varied forms of trauma
ignored by medical and political authorities, this volume draws on
diverse sources, such as family archives and narratives by children
of traumatized men, documents from film and photography, memoirs by
soldiers and civilians. This innovative study challenges us to
re-examine our approach to the complex psychological effects of the
First World War.
