This book is a study of the formation of the medical diagnosis of shell-shock in First World War Britain. Dr Loughran examines the intellectual resources doctors drew on as they struggled to make sense of nervous collapse and reveals the contribution of shell-shock on the development of psychoanalytic approaches to mind and behaviour.
