Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1918, and originally intended as advice to American psychiatrists in 1917 to prepare them for the problems they would face as a result of America's participation in WWI, this book confronts the psychiatric problems peculiar to veterans. MacCurdy divides the types of neuroses into two varieties, those which manifest as anxiety, and those which produce psychosomatic symptoms, and suggests forms of treatment for each. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of psychology or the treatment of disorders arising from war.
