War Trauma in France and Italy (1920s-1980s)

Wednesday 21st November
Time: 6pm to 7.30pm
In the twentieth century, medical-psychological theories on the health effects of war-related suffering as well as their social recognition presented large variations in different European countries. Focusing on
the medical debates and on the diagnostic categories adopted in France and in Italy in the aftermaths of the two World Wars, the paper will investigate how changes in medical, social, and political thinking
influenced the understanding of war trauma in the two countries.
