Title A name given to the resource Clinical Records of Shell-shock Subject The topic of the resource Mental health Description An account of the resource The controversial term shell-shock was initially coined by Charles Myers in 1915, cribbed from the lexicon of soldiers, but by 1922, the term which the War Office Committee references most often is war neurasthenia, or simply neurasthenia. In 1980, the American Psychological Association would add Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Like PTSD, shell-shock describes a traumatic event, but unlike shell-shock, PTSD references traumatic contexts beyond combat and war: the two terms are not equivalent, nor are their historical contexts contiguous. This collection organizes materials on the legal and medical context of the diagnosis. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text.

Title A name given to the resource Report of the War Office Committee of Enquiry into "Shell-Shock" Description An account of the resource In June of 1922, the War Officer Committee of Enquiry published their report on shell-shock and its treatment during the Great War. In 1922, the term which the War Office Committee references most often is war neurasthenia, or simply neurasthenia. In 1980, the American Psychological Association would add Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Like PTSD, shell-shock describes a traumatic event, but unlike shell-shock, PTSD references traumatic contexts beyond combat and war: the two terms are not equivalent, nor are their historical contexts contiguous. The Report of the War Officer Committee is an apt example of the controversial nature of shell-shock: throughout its pages, the term is lambasted as an ineffectual means of describing the traumatic effects of war. While the purported purpose of the report is to describe subject of war neurasthenia and its proper diagnosis and treatment, it also responds to worry among the families of shell-shocked men, who brought forth complaints of military negligence in treating shell-shock cases. Its unstated primary purpose was to banish doubt in the government’s ability to address cases of trauma, on a public stage.
