Hysterical Men - War, Psychiatry, and the Politics of Trauma in Germany, 1890-1930

Klappentext "Hysterical Men" shows how war-time psychiatry furthered the process of medical rationalization. Lerner views this not as a precursor to the brutalities of Nazi-era psychiatry! but rather as characteristic of a more general medicalized modernity. The author asserts! however! that psychiatry's continual scepticism toward trauma resonated powerfully with the radical right's celebration of war and violence and its supposedly salutary effects on men and nations.
