Soviet Military Psychiatry - Richard A. Gabriel - Bog

?This is the first comprehensive treatment in English of the approach of the Soviet military to the problem of psychiatric casualities. As information on the topic is hard to secure, the book is based almost entirely on interviews with Soviet emigre experts. It contains an interesting historical overview and comparison of theoretical and practical differences between Soviet and American psychology and psychiatry; it also includes chapters on military psychiatry in WW II, preventing battle stress and battlefield psychiatry. The presentation is straightforward, clear, and contains minimal bias.?-Choice
