Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Functional Nerve Disease, an Epitome of War Experience for the Practitioner The object of this volume is to present to the medical practitioner a simple and concise picture of the functional neuroses of war-time in such a manner that he may be able to apprehend the outstanding lessons taught by the experience of the Great War in this department of medicine. The almost universal misuse of the term "shell-shock" has led to a widespread belief that the functional nervous disorders of war-time are due to high-explosive and other agencies not germane to civil practice. While not excluding the special effect of shell-concussion, it must be borne in upon public and practitioner alike that the vast majority of these disorders are due to agencies, mental and physical, which have their counterpart in every walk of civilian life. The problem confronting those who have been called upon to treat soldiers suffering from functional disorders is that which confronts every physician, sooner or later, seldom or often, in his private practice. As with every other class of case, its successful treatment primarily demands intelligent investigation. In the past this has been seldom devoted to it, mainly because, in the training of medical students, cases of this kind have been passed over in silence. It is to be hoped that one of the fruits of our war experiences will be to stimulate in all sections of the profession a new interest in the ætiology and treatment of functional cases.
