What is shell shock? – Understanding Shell Shock (2/4)

Dr Fiona Reid, an expert on shell shock, describes what shell shock was, how it was treated and how it was regarded by contemporaries. She also explores the specific British connotations of the term, and the way we associate it with the First World War in particular.

This material forms part of the Open University MOOC World War 1: Trauma and Memory.
