Forced to contend with unprecedented levels of psychological trauma
during World War II, the United States military began sponsoring a
series of nontheatrical films designed to educate and even
rehabilitate soldiers and civilians alike. Traumatic Imprints
traces the development of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic
approaches to wartime trauma by the United States military, along
with links to formal and narrative developments in military and
civilian filmmaking. Offering close readings of a series of films
alongside analysis of period scholarship in psychiatry and
bolstered by research in trauma theory and documentary studies,
Noah Tsika argues that trauma was foundational in postwar American
culture. Examining wartime and postwar debates about the use of
cinema as a vehicle for studying, publicizing, and even what has
been termed "working through" war trauma, this book is an original
contribution to scholarship on the military-industrial complex.
