Wartime Nerves is a book written by Herbert James Hall and published in 1918. It is a study of the psychological effects of war on soldiers, with a particular focus on the condition known as shell shock. The book is based on Hall's experiences as a medical officer during World War I, where he treated soldiers suffering from a range of mental health problems. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the psychological effects of war, including the causes and symptoms of shell shock. Hall discusses the ways in which soldiers were affected by the trauma of war, and the challenges faced by medical professionals in treating their conditions. The second part of the book focuses on the treatment of shell shock. Hall describes the various therapies that were used at the time, including rest, psychotherapy, and hypnosis. He also discusses the role of the military in the treatment of soldiers, and the challenges faced by medical officers in providing effective care. Overall, Wartime Nerves provides a fascinating insight into the psychological effects of war, and the ways in which medical professionals attempted to treat them. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mental health care, as well as those interested in the history of World War I.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
