Abstract

“Technical objects,” such as War Neuroses (Shell shock, Hysteria and Neurasthenia) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, are considered emerging from historical and cultural practices within the medical field rather than just epistemological achievements. These objects were coiled by disciplines such as surgery, neurology, psychoanalysis, and psychiatry. They threaded a powerful cobweb within trauma and warfare during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
