Focusing on three key groups-railway personnel, soldiers, and telephone operators-Andreas Killen traces the emergence in the 1880's and then later decline of the belief that modernity caused nervous illness. During this period, Killen explains, Berlin became arguably the most advanced metropolis in Europe. A host of changes, many associated with breakthroughs in technologies of transportation, communication, and leisure, combined to radically alter the shape and tempo of everyday life in Berlin. The resulting consciousness of accelerated social change and the shocks and afflictions that accompanied it found their consummate expression in the discourse about nervousness. Wonderfully researched and clearly written, this book offers a wealth of new insights into the nature of the modern metropolis, the psychological aftermath of World War I, and the operations of the German welfare state. Killen also explores cultural attitudes toward electricity, the evolution of psychiatric thought and practice, and the status of women workers in Germany's rapidly industrializing economy. Ultimately, he argues that the backlash against the welfare state that occurred during the late Weimar Republic brought about the final decoupling of modernity and nervous illness.Weimar and now ;38.NeurastheniaSocial aspectsGermanyBerlinHistoryMental fatigueSocial aspectsGermanyBerlinHistoryElectrotherapeuticsGermanyBerlinHistoryElectrificationGermanyBerlinHistoryIndustrializationGermanyBerlinPsychological aspectsSocial changeGermanyBerlinPsychological aspectsRailroadsEmployeesMental healthGermanyBerlinTelephone operatorsMental healthGermanyBerlinSoldiersMental healthGermanyBerlinPsychiatryGermanyBerlinHistoryElectronic books.NeurastheniaSocial aspectsHistory.Mental fatigueSocial aspectsHistory.ElectrotherapeuticsHistory.ElectrificationHistory.IndustrializationPsychological aspects.Social changePsychological aspects.RailroadsEmployeesMental healthTelephone operatorsMental healthSoldiersMental healthPsychiatryHistory.362.196/8528/00943155Killen Andreas1053263MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450078303321Berlin electropolis2485086UNINA01860nam 2200349Ia 450 99639721060331620210104172025.0(CKB)4940000000063486(EEBO)2240865751(OCoLC)ocn767618664e(OCoLC)767618664(EXLCZ)99494000000006348620111206d1648 uy 0engurbn||||a|bb|A testimony to the trueth of Jesus Christ, and to our Solemn League and Covenant;[electronic resource] as also against the errours, heresies and blasphemies of these times, and the toleration of them.
