  Book Description
  Publication Date: June 1, 2009
  From the outset of World War I, French doctors faced an
apparent epidemic of puzzling neurological and psychiatric illnesses among soldiers. As they attempted to understand the
causes of these illnesses, doctors organized specialized centers near the front, where they submitted soldiers to swift,
humiliating treatments and then returned them to duty. At home, they interned the scores of civilians who succumbed to
the war’s strains in decrepit asylums or left them to fend for themselves. In Treating the Trauma of the Great
War, Gregory M. Thomas explores the psychological effects of the war on French citizens, showing how doctors’
understanding of mental illness produced deep, tangible effects in the lives of the men and women who suffered.
 

  Doctors vigorously debated the war’s role in the genesis of the neuropsychiatric disturbances observed in
soldiers and civilians, but most psychiatrists ultimately concluded that mental illnesses appeared primarily in
individuals predisposed to disease. Consequently, doctors granted their patients few favors when making decisions about
diagnostic labels, treatment regimes, and pension allocations, leaving many to endure illnesses without adequate care or
sufficient financial support. In their quest to understand the psychological impact of war, Thomas argues, doctors
focused more on demonstrating the capabilities of their medical specialties and serving a state at war than on treating
patients. Those aims significantly affected doctors’ scientific conclusions, their medical and legal decisions,
and their treatment practices. When the war ended, psychiatric reformers used the trauma of war to their advantage,
promoting the perception of France as a traumatized nation in need of new psychiatric institutions that could
accommodate a large and growing pool of psychologically wounded citizens.
  
  Thomas draws on the vast
medical literature produced during and after the war, including veterans’ journals, parliamentary debates,
newspaper articles, and medical administrative reports, infusing his narrative with a vivid human element. Though
psychiatrists ultimately failed to raise the status of their specialty, Thomas reveals how the war helped precipitate
lasting changes in psychiatric practice.
