In the years following World War II the health and well-being of the nation was of primary concern to the British government. The essays in this collection examine the relationship between health and stress in post-war Britain through a series of carefully connected case studies. Chapters in part one look at the experience and management of stress for both civilians and former military personnel immediately after the war, while part two deals with the development of psychological, physiological and psychosocial theories in the second half of the twentieth century.
