Résumé anglais Italian psychiatry and the war, Bruna Blanchi. The war provided to Italian psychiatry an opportunity to reinforce its social role by participating in the care of the soldiers and officers suffering from mental disor-ders. Although clinical observations developed, they were hardly sophisticated, since the illnesses were often considered acts of disobedience. Not until the last months of the conflict did neuroses cease to be always interpreted as refusais to adhere to patriotic ideals. Despite conflicts among physicians, doubts about the therapies' repressive and violent role did not lead to a genuine national debate.
