Combat Fatigue: How Stress in Battle was Felt (and Treated) in WWII

Yup.

Damn autocorrect!

Thanks!

I honestly don't think that Shell Shock and PTSD are the same thing, nor that they share the same pathology. I recommend On Killing...

CPT Jack Durish - Shell Shock is the name that was given to the condition and symptoms that we now call PTSD. IF it weren't for knowing about Shell Shock, we would not have a definition for PTSD. The term PTSD did not exist until 1982, so all we had was a term that could be used as a "diagnosis" for a group of symptoms not associated with anything medical per say. The ancestor of Shell Shock was the Civil War identification of Soldier's Heart. BTW, I know Dave Grossman and have the original edition of this book.

MAJ Karen Wall - Well said, Karen. As one who suffers from PTSD, I learned all these things the hard way. . . .
