A comparative study of government policies regarding the health impact of World War II in eleven European countries.\n\nIn 1945, Europe had to come to terms with the devastating consequences of war. Millions had lost their lives. Others were ill, starving, or traumatized by their experiences in camps or hiding, or by encounters in combat and bombardments. Today, we would approach these victims with an army of trauma psychologists, but in 1945, the concept of post-traumatic stress was still unknown. How did the victims themselves view their health? And how did medical professionals approach the issue? What financial support was offered? And who was eligible?\n\n\"The Politics of War Trauma\" compares attitudes and government policies regarding the health impact of World War II in eleven European countries. The study reveals striking differences in how these countries addressed potential medical-psychological problems among survivors. The book creates a surprising and innovative interdisciplinary link between aspects of the war's aftermath. It analyzes the changes in medical and psychological thinking about war and health against the political and country-specific backgrounds of the Cold War, welfare state development, collective memory, and psychiatric care.
