Extract

The present war has occasioned sudden and notable changes in many aspects of medicine. Psychotherapy is no exception. The war has come at a time when this branch of treatment is receiving a greater measure of acceptance by the profession than ever before. And the war has brought with it a challenging demand for shorter treatment and—if it may be—more permanent results. Thirty or forty years ago psychiatry complacently limited itself to environmental and custodial measures. Since then a gradual infiltration has taken place whereby the psychiatrist accepts an active therapeutic commission. Much of this change is due, directly and indirectly, to the work of Freud, which shook into animation both clinical psychiatry and academic psychology. The interdependence of these three departments of mental science has by no means reached completion. Nevertheless, psychotherapy can look back on a growing contribution to psychiatry, initiated to a large extent in the Great War, and now multiplied many times by the demands of totalitarian warfare.
