“…In any case, if one supplements that volume with Hurst's book (23), the criticisms would be met. Good clinical pictures of the present war casualties may be found under various reports (7,11,13,IS,34,37,43,47,61). The casualties at Dunkirk are reported to have shown a surprisingly uniform clinical picture.…”

“…The Lancet leader provoked discussion mostly representative of the other point of view (7,12,53). Those who hold this point of view would accept the importance of inherited predisposition in some cases and of the effects of previous neurotic personality disorder in most, but would also stress the fact that many soldiers of reasonably sound personality may break if the strain is severe enough or too prolonged (4,11,15,16,20,32,43,44,48,54). Naturally, under similar strain, those predisposed as a consequence of inheritance or early environmental stress will break soonest, and in many cases the neuroses appearing before exposure to battlefield conditions will have the most chronic and incapacitating symptoms (32).…”

“…To turn now to the occurrence of war neuroses among troops, we have reports of a considerable number of such casualties follow-ing Dunkirk (7,11,13,IS,43). On the other hand, Yellowlees states: "True war shock or anything remotely resembling it has not yet arisen."…”

On the basis of observations made on the war neuroses during the World War and more recently, certain general conclusions may be drawn. It may be stated that such neuroses show essentially the same mechanisms, somewhat modified by war conditions, as those of civil life. The clinical pictures are similar, particularly to the traumatic neuroses of peace, with the psychosomatic problem playing a more important role than was recognized in the last war. Basic therapeutic principles are essentially the same as in civil life with the important exception that treatment methods must be, at times, limited in scope and must aim toward returning casualties to duty as soon as possible. As present warfare is so very much directed against civilians, in speaking of the neuroses we make no differentiation between cases occurring in the civil population and among troops. Finally, terms such as "shell shock" or "soldier's heart" should be avoided because of their unfavorable connotations.It has been our aim in this bibliography to present the most significant of recent papers on the war neuroses and to include references which have not appeared in earlier bibliographies. There are 57 titles selected from over 130 articles published since 1927. That date was chosen because it marked the year of publication of the comprehensive bibliography by Fenton and Morrison on American contributions to military neuropsychiatry (17). Foreign articles for the war years may be found in abstract in the bibliography published by Brown and Williams under the auspices of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene in 1918 ( 9). The survey of the German war literature by Karl Birnbaum, which was begun in 1915 and carried on throughout the war, is another valuable reference work (5). Volume X of our own government publication, The medical department of the United States Army in the World War, contains a wealth of excellent material on the war neuroses (58). In addition there is a bibliography, apparently privately circulated (1918), by Thaddeus Ames which contains 1 Prepared under a grant from the Josiah Macy, Jr., Foundation.

“…Bowlby participated in a similar discussion on "the treatment of war neuroses" in The Lancet a few years earlier(Allen, 1940;Bowlby & Soddy, 1940;Brown, 1940;Burns, 1941;Collier, 1940;Culpin, 1940aCulpin, , 1940bCulpin, , 1940cDebenham, Sargant, Hill, & Slater, 1941;Dillon, 1941;Hurst, 1940;Pegge, 1940aPegge, , 1940bSargant & Slater, 1940;Slater, 1941;Wilson, 1940;Wright, 1941).…”

In this contribution, the authors situate the development of Bowlby's attachment theory against the background of the social, cultural, and scientific developments in interbellum Britain. It is shown that fairly early in his life Bowlby adopted one fundamental idea-that an infant primarily needs a warm and loving mother, and that separations from the mother are potentially damaging-and never substantially changed that basic notion in later years. Bowlby's first and foremost goal-and his lifelong undertaking-was to convince certain others (e.g., orthodox psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, clinicians, and medical doctors) of the importance of this idea by theorizing and gathering empirical evidence. Bowlby's view of mother love deprivation as the main source of maladjusted behavior was at variance with the views of many practitioners and theorists, but it was by no means fully novel and original. The authors show that Bowlby took inspiration from various persons and groups in British society with whom he shared basically similar views.
