War, Trauma, and Rehabilitation: The Army, Psychiatry, and World War II

这个项目将研究20世纪精神病学史上的一个关键事件：第二次世界大战期间战争神经症的新理论途径和治疗方法的发展。这将是对这一主题的第一次深入研究，并将从跨国的角度进行，其中将分析澳大利亚、英国和美国精神病学家的贡献。精神病学诊断的发展将在精神病学家、士兵和军队之间动态关系的背景下进行分析。结果将是至少三篇被引用的期刊文章和一本学术专著。

This project will examine a key episode in the history of twentieth century psychiatry: the development of new theoretical approaches and treatment methods for war neurosis encountered during World War II. This will be the first in-depth study of the topic and will be conducted from a trans-national perspective, in which the contributions of Australian, British, and American psychiatrists will be analysed. The development of psychiatric diagnoses will be analysed in the context of the dynamic relationship between psychiatrists, soldiers, and the army. The outcome will be at least three refereed journal articles and a scholarly monograph.
