In Germany, these men were called Kriegszitterer, or 'war tremblers,' for their telltale symptom of uncontrollable shaking. Based on archival research that constitutes the largest study of psychiatric patient files from 1914 to 1918, 'Diagnosing Dissent' examines the important space that wartime psychiatry provided soldiers expressing objection to the war. Rebecca Ayako Bennette argues that the treatment of these soldiers was far less dismissive of real ailments and more conducive to individual expression of protest than we have previously thought.Cornell scholarship online.Military psychiatryGermanyHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918Psychological aspectsSoldiersGermanyPsychologyWar neurosesGermanyHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918DesertionsGermanyPsychological aspectsWorld War, 1914-1918Conscientious objectorsGermanyPsychologyShell shock, military psychiatry, World War I, Hysteria, Dissent, peace studies.Military psychiatryHistoryWorld War, 1914-1918Psychological aspects.SoldiersPsychology.War neurosesHistoryWorld War, 1914-1918DesertionsPsychological aspects.World War, 1914-1918Conscientious objectorsPsychology.940.3/161Bennette Rebecca Ayako1973-1664461StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910822561403321Diagnosing dissent4022507UNINA
