Psychology & Psychiatry in the First World War
Figures interested in the study and practice of psychiatry/treatment of mental health in a military setting during the first world war, particularly in relation to the study of "shell shock, neurasthenia, combat stress reaction or PTSD. Not all of these individuals would have used the terms "psychologist" or "psychiatrist" to describe themselves. Some would have studied neurology or other medical disciplines. Civilian clinicians (particularly older individuals) and researchers may not feature in military records.
