Product Description

Review

'This book is a comprehensive analysis of the history and development of military psychiatry... it provides a fascinating insight to the attempts made to manage and treat war personnel and veterans. It will be of interest to those interested in the classification and development of psychological disorders. The book would be a useful addition to any psychiatric library.' - Joseph Curran, Mental Health Practice, July 2005

Simon Wesseley is a junk scientist 30 Nov 2009

By Justin Reilly, esq. - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Kindle Edition

I wouldn't trust anything by Simon Wesseley; his anti-scientific biases are too profound. For example, he has done an incredible amount to retard science in ME (aka CFS).

Strong resource 11 April 2007

By Ilona Meagher - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

I bought this work, which provides an historical view of combat PTSD through the lens of the United Kingdom's experience and understanding, when I was doing research for my own book, Moving A Nation to Care: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and America's Returning Troops. Written in an extremely approachable style, yet heavily relying on clinical studies for its information, Shell Sock to PTSD is valuable read. A solid glossary of diagnostic terms rounds it out at the close.

madness from war 5 April 2008

By H. T. M. Bruin - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Edgar Jones and Simon Wessely are amongst the finest historians of psychiatry and especially military psychiatry. Their book 'Shell shock to PTSD' proofs it. It gives a fine overview of war and madness and madness from war from the late nineteenth to the end of the twentieth century and some good insight into the peculiarities of it. A definite 'must have' for everyone interested or involved in military psychiatry. Pity though it (as so often, especially in WW-I literature) concerns itself mostly with British doctors and soldiers.
