“They can praise us … without giving equal rights”
This study explores whether Nepalese and Fijian nationals serving in the U.K. Armed Forces experienced discrimination and, if so, what impact it had on their careers, wellbeing, and mental health.A community-engaged research approach was adopted to recruit 25 Gurkha and 14 Fijian veterans from different generations and across a range of ranks and military roles.Data were collected within 10 months using semistructured interviews (in person, on th…
The Relationship between of Moral Injury and Radicalisation
The impact of moral injury on the wellbeing of UK military veterans
The results provide preliminary evidence that potentially morally injurious experiences are associated with adverse mental health outcomes in UK AF veterans. Further work is needed to better understand the interplay between morally injurious events and threat-based trauma in order to design effective pathways for prevention and intervention for people exposed to highly challenging events
What factors are truly associated with risk for radicalisation? A secondary data analysis within a UK sample
Radicalisation and extremist violence are of increasing concern internationally. The unconventional, decentralised, and transnational nature of modern terrorism involves an active process of radicalisation requiring national security responses to reflect findings from recent empirical research. This study aims to identify factors that relate to extremist attitudes and potential vulnerability to radicalisation in order to inform preventative actio…
Patients behind the front lines
The British Mandate in Palestine ended abruptly in 1948. The British departure engendered a complex situation which affected all areas of life, and the country’s health system was no exception. Gradual transition of the infrastructure was almost impossible owing to the ineffectiveness of the committee appointed by the United Nations. The situation was further complicated by the outbreak of the Arab–Israeli War. We relate for the first time the st…
A Weary Road
This history of shell-shock has an unambiguous title. However, the reader should be forewarned that two-thirds of the text is concerned with UK doctors, patients and hospitals in France and Flanders. The author, Mark Osborne Humphries, justifies the emphasis on the British Expeditionary Force by stating that ‘the Canadian medical services operated in the same way as those of any British corps’, so ‘there is no reason to believe that the Canadians…

Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018. xviii + 238 pp. Ill. $28.95 (978–1–4214–2639–6).

It followed a sustained campaign by critics of the Vietnam War …
Combat Experiences and their Relationship to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Clusters in UK Military Personnel Deployed to Afghanistan
The association of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom clusters with combat and other operational experiences among United Kingdom Armed Forces (UK AF) personnel who deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 were examined. Previous studies suggest that the risk of developing PTSD rises as combat exposure levels increase. To date, no UK research has investigated how specific classes of combat and operational experiences relate to PTSD symptom clus…
‘An atmosphere of cure’
Although recognized as a medical scientist, the work of Frederick Mott as a physician, educator and clinical policymaker has been overshadowed. As a late entrant to the asylum system, Mott questioned established practices of treating mentally-ill patients and campaigned for reform. During World War I, entrusted with the management of the Maudsley neurological section, he sought to raise clinical standards and experimented with a range of therapie…
Terror Weapons
Chemical weapons accounted for only 1 per cent of the 750,000 British troops killed in the First World War and yet caused disproportionate casualties (estimated at 180,100). The considerable investment in the development of new toxins and methods of delivery was designed to maintain the elements of surprise and uncertainty as these accentuated their psychological effect. Soldiers were continually challenged on the battlefield by combinations of d…
Neuro Psychiatry 1943
In 1943, Basil Wright produced a documentary film about the treatment of servicemen and civilians with psychological disorders at Mill Hill Emergency Medical Service Hospital. Funded by the Ministry of Information, Neuro Psychiatry was shot to convince influential clinicians and policy makers in North America that the British had developed expertise in the management of psychiatric casualties. By emphasizing novel and apparently effective interve…
German Battle Casualties
World War I witnessed the admission of large numbers of German soldiers with neurological symptoms for which there was no obvious organic cause. This posed a considerable challenge for the military and medical authorities and resulted in an active discussion on the etiology and treatment of these disorders. Current historiography is reliant on published physician accounts, and this represents the first study of treatment approaches based on origi…
Psychiatric case notes
Case notes of patients treated at the Maudsley Hospital during the interwar period provided data about diagnosis, symptoms and beliefs about mental illness. In the absence of effective treatments, patients were investigated in detail in the hope that connections between disease processes might be revealed. We analysed a randomly-selected sample of 700 patients taken equally from 1924, 1928, 1931 and 1935. Eight groups (three representing psychosi…
The gut war’
Hospital admission and mortality statistics suggested that peptic ulcer reached a peak prevalence in the mid-1950s. During the Second World War, against this background of serious and common pathology, an epidemic of dyspepsia afflicted both service personnel and civilians alike. In the absence of reliable diagnostic techniques, physicians struggled to distinguish between life-threatening illness and mild, temporary disorders. This article explor…

War Neuroses and Arthur Hurst
From 1917 to 1918, Major Arthur Hurst filmed shell-shocked patients home from the war in France. Funded by the Medical Research Committee, and using Pathé cameramen, he recorded soldiers who suffered from intractable movement disorders as they underwent treatment at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Netley and undertook programs of occupational therapy at Seale Hayne in Devon. As one of the earliest UK medical films, Hurst's efforts may have drawn i…
Organ Extracts and the Development of Psychiatry
The use of organ extracts to treat psychiatric disorder in the interwar period is an episode in the history of psychiatry which has largely been forgotten. An analysis of case-notes from The Maudsley Hospital from the period 1923-1938 shows that the prescription of extracts taken from animal testes, ovaries, thyroids, and other organs was widespread within this London Hospital. This article explores the way in which Maudsley doctors justified the…
British Prisoners-of-War
In contemporary culture, soldiers held as prisoners-of-war (POWs) or as hostages are considered at significant risk of mental illness, in particular post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This assumption contrasts with the psychiatric orthodoxy of the First World War when it was concluded in both Britain and Germany that POWs were protected against 'war neurosis'. Although 'barbed wire disease' was identified during time of captivity, post-releas…
Shell Shock at Maghull and the Maudsley
The shell-shock epidemic of 1915 challenged the capacity and expertise of the British Army's medical services. What appeared to be a novel and complex disorder raised questions of causation and treatment. To address these pressing issues, Moss Side Military Hospital at Maghull became a focus for experiment in the developing field of psychological medicine as clinicians from diverse backgrounds and disciplines were recruited and trained at this sp…
Battle Exhaustion
During the Second World War, controversy surrounded not the inevitability of psychiatric casualties but the extent to which they could be minimized by selection, training, morale, and leadership. By early 1944, when planning for the D-Day landings was advanced, the problem of the psychiatric battle casualty was considered manageable by careful preparation and clinical understanding. The campaign to liberate Europe offered the newly formed Directo…
The Maudsley Hospital and the Rockefeller Foundation
Opened in February 1923 to raise the status of academic psychiatry in the UK, the Maudsley Hospital struggled to secure grant income. Without a track record of published research and lacking internationally recognized clinicians, it failed to impress the British Medical Research Council. To challenge leading U.S. and German departments of neuropsychiatry, Edward Mapother, the medical superintendent, looked overseas for investment in an "institute…
Managing the `unmanageable
When opened as a post-graduate teaching and research hospital in 1923, the Maudsley made virtually no provision for the treatment of children. Yet its children's department saw sustained growth during the interwar period. This expansion is explored in relation to novel behaviourist hypotheses and the forging of formal links with local government and charitable bodies. The recruitment of psychologists, educators and specialist social workers foste…
Framing Mental Illness, 1923-1939
British psychiatric care during the inter-war period has often been characterised in bleak and even punitive terms: an asylum system that required certification for treatment, radical and often risky clinical interventions of no established benefit to patients and a lack of empathy or creativity among doctors. Although the Maudsley Hospital was designed to break the asylum mould, the received view is that a distinctive admissions policy targeted …
Public Panic and Morale
Following September 11 in the US and July 7 in the UK, the threat to civilians from terrorist attack has become real yet considerable disagreement exists about how people might respond. The effect of aerial bombing on the public's morale during the Second World War and the incidence of psychiatric casualties have been explored to provide reference points for the current terrorist threat. Systematic study of restricted government investigations an…
The Psychology of Killing
The hypothesis that soldiers took pleasure in killing during the first world war is assessed in the light of particular forms of evidence and the reports of military psychiatrists. The impersonal nature of combat and motives of snipers are also explored. An analysis of admissions to a shell-shock treatment unit suggested that soldiers exposed to the greatest risk of being killed were particularly prone to breakdown in battle. An outlet for aggres…
Civilian Morale During the Second World War
Drawing a distinction between 'passive' morale (a grim willingness to carry on) and 'active' morale (heroic gestures), Marwick detected no fundamental weakening of resolve throughout the war. In a later study, Calder argued that Britain in 1940 provided 'ample evidence, familiar and unfamiliar, to indicate widespread fear and paranoia bordering on panic'. Similarly, Ponting maintained that sustained morale during the Blitz owed more to government…

History of GKN
South Wales
Having merged with the Patent Nut & Bolt Co., the managers of the collieries and manufacturing plant of the former Dowlais Iron Co. discovered that they were no longer autonomous leaders. Not only were there other interests to consider, but, despite their size and historical importance, they found themselves being junior partners in the union. They were faced with the prospect that their policies might conflict with those decided upon by other me…
Transition at Dowlais, The 1850s and 1860s
By March 1848, when after the death of Lord Bute it became clear that his Trustees would renew the lease, the ironworks at Dowlais had been allowed to fall into a state of considerable disrepair. Little had been spent on maintenance and renewals in the immediate past and, in view of Lord Bute’s implacability and consistent refusal to reach an agreement, there had been virtually no substantial investment in new plant and technology over the recent…
