Report of the War Office Committee of Enquiry into "Shell-shock"

Southborough, Lord. "Report of the War Office Committee of Enquiry into “shell-shock.”." London, His Majesty’s Stationery Office (1922). ---- First major medical study researching the field of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; aka "Shell-Shock." Originally printed in 1922; the book focuses on WWI soldiers. With the advent of flight, it was noticed that some pilots experienced disorders similar to men in the trenches, originally believed to be the result of subdural hematomas due to mortar explosions. It was from this the medical field of psychiatry began to take hold. From these studies grew the origin of Aviation Medicine, and experiments conducted by men such as Hubertus Strughold at Dachau concentration camp. These eventually lead to the field of modern Clean Torture; and interrogation techniques.
