Abstract

That theme reverberates in Jamison's account of how Rivers treated Sassoon, whose war reactions might today be diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder. Mentally and spiritually devastated after surviving World War I's combat horrors, British poet Siegfried Sassoon was treated for emotional wounds at a military hospital. Jamison uses writings by both men to explore Sassoon's therapeutic relationship with Rivers. [Extracted from the article]
