Abstract

The text introduces and rebuilds the debate within psychiatry about the neuroses and war trauma. It follows the rise and the contrasted affirmation of the point of view of psychiatrists who recognize the war as a cause in itself of the many traumas that affected the soldiers, but also civilians engaged in war. It is thus reconsidered the idea which wanted the war was only the trigger moment of a problem that was already present in subjects, shared viewpoint along the different seasons of war.
