Shell-shock and Other Neuropsychiatric Problems is a collection of clinical case histories and essays by neuropsychiatrist Elmer Ernest Southard. It examines shell shock and related neurological and psychiatric conditions, drawing on hospital practice and early twentieth-century diagnostic thinking. It is worth listening to for a sober historical view of how doctors understood trauma and mental illness then.
