Add to basketCondition: Good. No Jacket. The book presents a concise statement of the problems, capacities, and direction which psychiatry was taking in serving the armed forces of the Allied Nations. The material is chiefly a report of the work of British psychiatrists, which parallels that of Americans, and the remainder is a critical revi…ew of the effectiveness of their work. The author has a healthy regard for the psychodynamic approach and notes, among other things, the difficulties of medical men in understanding the psychiatric viewpoint, as well as the need for the psychiatrist to adjust himself to military life. This is recognised as a culturally important book.

John Rawlings Rees, Cbe, Frcp (1890 -1969), Also Known As 'Jack' Or 'J.R.', Was A British Civilian And Military Psychiatrist. He Joined The Friends Ambulance Unit In 1914, And Later Became A Medical Officer In The Royal Army Medical Corps. Rees Was Placed In Charge Of A Motor Ambulance Unit In Mesopotamia Until 1919. Hugh Crichton-Miller Invited Rees To Work With Him At A Private Psychiatric Nursing Home, Bowden House, Harrow On The Hill. Rees Married Mary Isobel Hemingway (1887 -1954)1. Their Marriage Occurred Shortly After Rees And Crichton-Miller Created The Tavistock Square Clinic For Functional Nervous Disorders, A Voluntary Hospital Which Opened In 1920. The Clinic Specialized In The New 'Dynamic Psychologies' Of Sigmund Freud And His Followers, And In Particular The Object Relations Theory Of Ronald Fairbairn And Others. As Well As Educating Others At The Clinic, Rees Took The Dph In 1920 And Mrcp In 1936. Rees Was One Of The Key Figures At The Original Tavistock Clinic And Became Its Medical Director From 1933. He Began To Make Plans To Establish An Institute Of Medical Psychology, With Beds And More Opportunities To Train People In Psychiatric Methods, And Bought A Site In Bloomsbury To Build It, But His Plans Were Halted By The Outbreak Of The Second World War. Rees Was Appointed Consulting Psychiatrist To The British Army During The Second World War. According To Eric Trist, In 1941 A Group Of Psychiatrists At The Tavistock Clinic Were Asked To Join The Directorate Of Army Psychiatry, And Did So As A Group. During The War, Rees Oversaw His Colleagues' Experiments With Group Psychotherapy, 'Therapeutic Communities', Morale, Rehabilitation, And Selection Tests. The Work Which Occupied Most Of Rees Time During The War Was The Case Of Rudolf Hess. Together With Henry Dicks, A Fellow Member Of The Tavistock Clinic Group, Rees Was Charged With The Care Of Hitler's Deputy At The Secret Prison Locations Where He Was Held Following His Capture After Landing In Scotland. Over The Four-Year Period From June 1941 To Hess' Appearance At The Nuremberg Trial, In 1945 Rees Was A Member Of The Three-Man British Panel (With Churchill's Personal Physician Lord Moran, And Eminent Neurologist Dr George Riddoch) Which Assessed Hess's Capability To Stand Trial For War Crimes. He Received Awards Including The Thomas Salmon Memorial Lectureship Of The New York Academy Of Medicine In 1944, The William Withering Lectureship At The University Of Birmingham In 1945, And Shared The First New Lasker Award With Brock Chisholm In 1945. After The War, The Tavistock Clinic Underwent Considerable Changes, In Which Rees Played A Key Role. Rees' Plans For An Institute Of Medical Psychology Were Never Realized; Instead, The Group Went On To Found The Tavistock Institute, With Funding From The Rockefeller Foundation. Rees Left Shortly Afterwards In 1947.After Leaving The Tavistock, Rees' First Role Was As The Chief Organizer Of The 1948 International Congress For Mental Health, Held In London. At This Congress, The World Federation For Mental Health Was Founded, And Rees Was Elected As The First President. This Organization Is Now A Non-Governmental Organization With Formal Consultative Status At The United Nations. Rees Retired From His Post In 1962, Though He Continued To Act As A Consultant. As Usual, No Finding That Political Leaders And Administrators Would Be Sociopathic Or Psycopathic For Invading Other Lawful Countries Or Attempting To Exterminate Elements Of Their Populations.
