Ratna psihijatrija

The book War Psychiatry (Ratna psihijatrija), published in 1982 by the Military Publishing Institute, represents a significant and professionally relevant work in the field of military medicine and psychiatry in the former Yugoslavia. The author, Primarius Dr. Gojko Kapor, draws upon an extensive body of theoretical literature, as well as experiences from contemporary armed conflicts and psychological research, to provide a comprehensive insight into the impact of war-related stress, fear, and combat conditions on the human psyche. The book examines in detail the clinical manifestations of war neuroses, acute stress reactions, conversion disorders, and war-related psychoses. Kapor places particular emphasis on preventive measures within military units, methods for the psychological preparation of soldiers, early diagnosis on the front lines, and the principles of psychotherapeutic and pharmacological care for those affected. The work holds great historical and professional value, as it documents the development of military psychiatry and the understanding of post-traumatic conditions within Yugoslav medical theory during that period.
