While recognising that each individual case of war neurosis must be treated on its merits, the Committee are of opinion that good results will be obtained in the majority by the simplest forms of psycho-therapy, i.e., explanation, persuasion and suggestion, aided by such physical methods as baths, electricity and massage. Rest of mind and body is essential in all cases.</dd> <dd>The committee are of opinion that the production of hypnoidal state and deep hypnotic sleep, while beneficial as a means of conveying suggestions or eliciting forgotten experiences are useful in selected cases, but in the majority they are unnecessary and may even aggravate the symptoms for a time.</dd> <dd>They do not recommend psycho-analysis in the Freudian sense.</dd> <dd>In the state of convalescence, re-education and suitable occupation of an interesting nature are of great importance.

This is hard saying. It may seem cruel that those whose sufferings are real, whose illness has been brought on by enemy action and very likely in the course of patriotic service, should be treated with such apparent callousness. But there can be no doubt that in an overwhelming proportion of cases, these patients succumb to ‘shock’ because they get something out of it. To give them this reward is not ultimately a benefit to them because it encourages the weaker tendencies in their character. The nation cannot call on its citizens for courage and sacrifice and, at the same time, state by implication that an unconscious cowardice or an unconscious dishonesty will be rewarded.<sup id="cite_ref-Shephard_2000_10-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Shephard_2000-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development_of_psychiatry">Development of psychiatry</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Shell_shock&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Development of psychiatry"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>At the beginning of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, the term "shell shock" was banned by the British Army, though the phrase "<a href="/wiki/Postconcussional_syndrome" class="mw-redirect" title="Postconcussional syndrome">postconcussional syndrome</a>" was used to describe similar traumatic responses.<sup id="cite_ref-Jones_2007_7-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jones_2007-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 1643">: 1643 </span></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Society_and_culture">Society and culture</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Shell_shock&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Society and culture"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Shell shock has had a profound impact in British culture and the popular memory of World War I.
