W. H. R. Rivers and the war neuroses.

W. H. R. Rivers was the most famous member of the Cambridge Expedition to the Torres Strait. At the time, he was a physician and had an international reputation as a researcher in physiological psychology. The expedition signaled the beginning of his career in social anthropology, but also a long hiatus in his activities in medicine. His clinical interests revived during World War I. As an officer in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), Rivers became a leading proponent of "psychological medicine." Today, his war-time psychiatry is remembered mainly in association with his patient, Siegfried Sassoon. This article focuses on his wartime activities, his clinical practices, and his theories concerning the war neuroses and the unconscious. The currently popular view of Rivers as a quasi-Freudian humanist is challenged.

Psychiatrists who must take care of patients suffering of Post Traumatic Stress Disorders are often surprised in front of the strength of repetition of the related frightful experience. Therapeutics methods which are more often used (Abreaction and Narcissism reconstruction by varied technics) have showed their limits. Leaning on their experience and referring to psycho-analytic teaching, the authors show the interest of the individual psychotherapy. They propose not to be strongly affected by the massive aspect to the "trauma" and to permit as far as possible the installation of the transfer.
