    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Soldiers! Avoid venereal disease. Venereal Disease Information Card]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In an effort to halt the progress of venereal disease in the army, Young and others tried to implement various preventative measures. One was education. Progressives, at the time, would have preferred that American men abstain from the “vice” of extramarital sex altogether. Military officials increasingly leaned toward a more pragmatic outlook, one that focused on educating soldiers about prophylaxis and treatment. This card, intended for soldiers, reveals the tension between those two schools. The front side emphasizes the roles of virtue and moral uprightness as the key to a clean bill of health. The back, containing the location of several prophylaxis stations, reflects that more pragmatic impulse.  ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Excerpt of a letter from Frederick Walker Mott to Adolf Meyer]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In the history of psychiatry, the First World War is often identified with the rise of the disorder of “shell shock.” Referred to at the time most often as “war neurosis,” the malady was characterized by tics, convulsions, muscle spasms, paralyses, shakes, emotional outbursts, loss of speech, and problems in memory. The scale of the problem, by contemporaries’ accounts, seemed to match the scale of the conflict itself.  <br />
<br />
Many doctors in America learned about the condition and current treatment methods from the British before they entered the war. Here, Doctor Frederick Walker Mott apprises Meyer of the condition and treatment from his vantage point in London. Mott was one of Meyer’s English colleagues in pathology and psychiatry. At the time of his letter, he was treating and studying shell shock patients at the Maudsley Hospital in London. Later that month, he would open his doors to Americans touring British facilities in preparation for their own work on the problem in American troops.<br />

    <dcterms:alternative><![CDATA[Letter to Adolf Meyer from Frankwood E. Williams]]></dcterms:alternative>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[At the time, Adolf Meyer was an influential figure in the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. It was an organization dedicated to the reform of psychiatry, the promotion of mental health research, the creation of outpatient services and expansion of the discipline into fields like public health. When the US entered the war, the NCMH took a keen interest in the urgent problem of war neuroses. Under the leadership of the psychiatrist Thomas Salmon, who became a consultant for the AEF, the organization began converting its members and their institutions into a psychiatric service for the US Army’s medical corps. The above letter, written by the vice-chairman of the newly created “War Work Committee,” reveals this institutional shift. Adolf Meyer and his clinic became a part of this.]]></dcterms:description>
