DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Shell Shock: And Its Lessons HE demand for a new edition affords us the opportunity I of once more explaining the chief aim of the book, which some of its critics have not adequately understood. Its purpose is to call attention to certain factors in diagnosis and treatment which most physicians have unduly neglected in dealing with incipient mental disturbance. In preparing the book we were not attempting to write a complete manual upon the therapy of mental disease, but were merely pleading for the recognition of the vitally important part played by emotional disturbances in the causation of shell shock, and the necessity of dealing with those radical causal factors as the basis of really rational and effective treatment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The British poets Wilfred Owen, Ivor Gurney, and Siegfried Sassoon found themselves psychologically altered by what they experienced in the First World War. Owen was hospitalized in April 1917 for "shell shock" in Scotland, where he met Siegfried Sassoon in June of that year, hospitalized for the same affliction. Ivor Gurney found the war, ironically, to have been a place of relative stability within an otherwise tormented life; When he was wounded during the war's final year, his doctors observed signs of mental illness, which evolved into incapacitating psychosis by 1922. For each of these men--all poets before the war--poetry served as a way to inscribe continuity into their lives, enabling them to retaliate against the war's propensity to render the lives of the participants discontinuous. Poetry allowed them to return to the war through memory and imagination, and poetry helped them to bring themselves back from psychological breakdown to a state of stability, based upon a relationship to the war that their literary war enabled them to create and discover. This work investigates the ways in which the poetry of war functioned as a means for these three men to express the inexpressible and to extract value out of the experience of war.
