Excerpts from _Reflections on War and Death_ (1918) by Sigmund Freud

This radio segment consists of readings from Freud's 1918 essay on the first world war. In 1920, he would start lecturing on the phenomena known as "shell shocks" more fully. Freud helped create a new understanding for the mental problems of war veterans in the aftermath of the carnage of the trenches.
