Psychoanalysis and the War Neuroses

""Psychoanalysis and the War Neuroses"" is a seminal work by Hungarian psychoanalyst Sandor Ferenczi. Originally published in 1919, the book explores the psychological effects of war on soldiers, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of ""war neurosis"" or what is now known as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Ferenczi argues that traditional medical approaches to treating war neurosis, such as hypnosis and electroshock therapy, are ineffective and even harmful. Instead, he proposes that psychoanalysis can provide a more comprehensive and compassionate approach to treating soldiers suffering from war neurosis. The book includes case studies and clinical examples to illustrate Ferenczi's theories and methods. It is considered a landmark work in the field of psychoanalysis and remains relevant today in understanding the psychological impact of war and trauma.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
