Psychoanalysis and the War Neuroses

Psychoanalysis and the War Neuroses is a book written by Ferenczi, Sandor that explores the relationship between psychoanalysis and the war neuroses that were prevalent during World War I. The book delves into the psychological trauma that soldiers experienced during the war and how this trauma manifested itself in physical symptoms such as paralysis, blindness, and other neurological disorders. Ferenczi argues that these symptoms were not purely physical but were deeply rooted in the soldiers' psyche and could only be treated through psychoanalysis. The book also discusses the methods used by psychoanalysts to treat these war neuroses, including the use of hypnosis, free association, and dream analysis. Ferenczi provides case studies of soldiers who were successfully treated using psychoanalysis, and he emphasizes the importance of understanding the patient's individual history and experiences in order to effectively treat their neuroses. Overall, Psychoanalysis and the War Neuroses is a seminal work in the field of psychoanalysis and provides valuable insights into the treatment of psychological trauma. It remains relevant today as soldiers continue to experience trauma in modern-day conflicts, and psychoanalysts continue to explore new methods for treating these complex disorders.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1921 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
