From cowardice to shellshock: medicine, psychiatry and the Great War

World War I drove great advances in science and technology, but less well-known is its impact on medicine. Emily Mayhew will tell the story of the stretcher bearers of WW1 who were at the heart of this medical revolution. Then, Louis and Marc-Antoine Crocq will explore the evolution of the diagnostics and treatment of ’war neurosis’. This event is organised in association with the French Embassy.
