“…These wards are places to where ‘physically injured’ patients, arriving at general hospitals, could be psychologically scrutinised more routinely. They exist uneasily between the different therapeutic regimes of psychiatric and general medicine, seen as ‘clearing stations’ for unmanageable patients as well and those suspected of having a mental disorder [47-49] and are predominantly associated with older Poor Law provision [47, 50, 51]. Mental treatment on these wards is officially discouraged in the mid-1930s (so as not to usurp the role of the mental hospital), but increasingly carried out regardless [52].…”

In 1944, Henderson’s and Gillespie’s Textbook of Psychiatry notes the ‘remarkable progress that has occurred in psychiatry in recent years in the teeth of war conditions, and even, to a limited extent, because of them’.1 The Second World War nurtures and catalyses a large number of reforms and innovations in the thought and practice of British psychiatry. Attending to the psychological casualties of the Second World War generates a huge number of interpersonally focused psychotherapeutic practices. The psychological significance of personal relationships, of adjustment to situations, of communication and social interaction become central to the linked aims of maintaining military and civilian morale on one hand, and returning psychological casualties to service as soon as possible on the other. The link between the social setting and psychological well-being is not generated by the war. However, the war does give an enormous boost to conceptions of what becomes known as the ‘psychosocial’.
