sassoon and rivers

His plan was formed: he would study medicine and apply for training in the Army Medical Department, later to become the Royal Army Medical Corps. Sassoon was told, for instance by the neurological member of the Medical Board which sent him to Craiglockhart in late July 1917, a Captain C.F.F. [9] It was in the belief that he could fulfil these requirements, that Head himself volunteered to act, as Langham puts it, "as Rivers's experimental guinea-pig. [1], In this period, Rivers also investigated the influence of stimulants: tea, coffee, alcohol, tobacco, and a number of other drugs, on a person's capacity for both physical and mental work. His main concern in analysing his dream was to establish whether he was in uniform. It was at this point that Rivers began collecting family histories and constructing genealogical tables[39] but at this point his purpose appears to have been more biological than ethnological since such tables seem to have originated as a means of determining whether certain sensory talents or disabilities were hereditary. And privately he was rather franker, telling Marsh, whom he knew would understand, that he "loved [Rivers] at first sight". [46] As such, by the time W.H.R. Letter to Robert Graves, 1917, The War Poems of Siegfried Sassoon, Faber and Faber. Walter Langdon-Brown surmises that Rivers and his fellow Charles S. Myers devoted themselves to these aspects in reaction to Gee.[23]. "[44], However, the investigations, bizarre as they may seem, did have a sound scientific basis since Rivers especially was looking at the protopathic and epicritic from an evolutionary perspective. The use of dialogue modifies temporality because historical events are suddenly brought out of the past into the present situation.The novel was written in 1991. The letter says soldiers are being sacrificed for an "evil and unjust" war. [24], Rivers's interest in the physiology of the nervous system and in "the mind", that is, in sensory phenomena and mental states,[1] was further stimulated by work in 1891. But now he moved more definitively into anthropology. In his sonnet ‘Banishment’, for instance, written at Craiglockhart, he describes one of these and the decision he has finally reached: The darkness tells how vainly I have striven, To free them from the pit where they must dwell, In outcast gloom convulsed and jagged and riven. [31] In order, to eliminate "all possible effects of suggestion, sensory stimulation and interest", Rivers ensured that the substances were disguised so that he could not ascertain, in any instance, whether he was taking a drug or a control substance. [1][50][51] Rivers’ autogonosis consisted of two parts. Rivers suffered from a stammer that he never fully conquered. ‘It was not really until the war that Rivers found himself’, a close Cambridge colleague, Langdon-Brown remembered; ‘his whole personality expanded as he grew to realize what was his true mission in life.’ In order to treat ‘psychoneuroses’, Langdon-Brown argued, he had had to ‘heal himself’ first. William, known as "Willie" throughout his childhood,[1] appears to have been named after his famous uncle of Victory fame; there was also a longstanding family tradition whereby the eldest son of every line would be baptised by that name. The patient is a healthy-looking man of good physique. [1][57] Rivers' personal and complete theory on the origin of the "psycho-neuroses," including the war neuroses, was not to be published until 1920 with the publication of Instinct and the Unconscious: A Contribution to a Biological Theory of the Psycho-Neuroses.[15]. Doubtful that Sassoon was ill at all and charged by the authorities with the task of persuading the officer to recant, Rivers originally considered refusing to ‘treat’ him. In addition, he was the first to use a type of double-blind procedure in investigating physical and psychological effects of consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol, and drugs. "[28] In 1912 a well-equipped laboratory was finally built under the directorship of Charles S. Myers, one of Rivers's earliest and ablest pupils. [28] In these fields, Rivers was rapidly becoming eminent. It was a sort of power of getting into another man's life and treating it as if it were his own. He merely made me feel that he took all that for granted, and now we must go on to something better still. It is also possible, at any rate in many cases, to show how these images are symbolic expression of some conflict raging in the mind of the poet, and that the real underlying meaning or latent content of the poem is very different from that which the outward imagery would suggest. Rivers's interests in neurology and psychology became evident in this period. In these lectures he isolates the war dream from other types of dream in a way that ties in closely with Sassoon’s own account of Craiglockhart by night: A characteristic feature … is that it is accompanied by an effect of a peculiarly intense kind, often with a special quality described as different from any known in waking life. [5] Hunt's most famous case came about in 1842. [1] While an undergraduate at Cambridge, Thomas Hunt had a friend who stammered badly and his efforts to aid the afflicted student led him to leave the University without taking a degree in order to make a thorough study of speech and its defects. [23] In 1897, Langdon-Brown invited Rivers to come and address the Abernethian Society. Suppression—in this view—is a natural and “unwitting” (unintentional) method for removing painful instincts from consciousness and confining them in the unconscious. One one voyage he spent a month in the company of playwright George Bernard Shaw; he later described how he spent "many hours every day talking – the greatest treat of my life". The clinking of ice against the glass, the removal of the kettle from the hob, tended to prejudice his answers... [Rivers] was therefore particularly careful to make all his preparations beforehand; the iced tubes were filled and jugs of hot and cold water ranged within easy reach of his hand, so that the water of the temperature required might be mixed silently. [44], This was the first stage of the recovery process and Head and Rivers dubbed it the "protopathic",[44] taking its origins from the Middle Greek word protopathes, meaning "first affected". On the evening of the next day I heard that he was dangerously ill. As I approached the College on the morning of June 5 I saw the flag at half mast. Rivers cites two possible reasons for the “escape” of such instincts from the unconscious: either the instinct became too strong to contain, or the normal reserves which typically suppress it were weakened. There is a chapter named after the doctor and Rivers appears in the book as the only character to retain his factual name, giving him a position as a sort of demi-god in Sassoon's semi-fictitious memoirs. So long as I was in uniform I was not a free agent. In the Toda case, it is the sacred dairy cult. Lysophosphatidylcholine exerts an anti-skin photoaging effect via heat shock protein 70 induction. In this novel the reader also learns of Rivers' visit to Melanesia; feverish with Spanish Flu, the doctor is able to recount the expedition and we are provided with insight both into the culture of the island and into Rivers' very different "field trip persona". One qualification of the ideal father is wisdom and Rivers seemed to Sassoon a ‘Very Wise Man’, the title of one of the poems he was to write about him: … You understand my thoughts, though, when you think. After the war, Rivers became "another and far happier man – diffidence gave place to confidence, reticence to outspokenness, a somewhat laboured literary style to one remarkable for ease and charm". He recognises that his view of warfare is tinged by his feelings about the death of friends and of the men who were under his command in France. Rivers' "talking cure" was primarily based on the ancient belief of catharsis: the idea that bringing repressed memories into the light of consciousness rids memories and thoughts of their power. In Sassoon's autobiography (under the guise of The Memoirs of George Sherston) Rivers is one of the few characters to retain their original names. He made me feel safe at once, and seemed to know all about me". [15][50] The result is night terrors. When all five "self-preservation" instincts are repeatedly aroused for long periods of time, such as during exposure to war, the instincts gain power and eventually "escape" from the unconscious. Who better than the man he was later to call his ‘fathering friend’? By the end of his German visit he had resolved in his diary to ‘go in for insanity’ and ‘work as much as possible at psychology’. As Sassoon wrote in a letter to Robert Graves (24 July 1918): O Rivers please take me. But Sassoon's description of the doctor in Sherston's Progress, lingering as it does on Rivers's warm smile and endearing habits – he often sat, spectacles pushed up on forehead, with his hands clasped around one knee – suggests that it was more than liking he felt. Sassoon writes about Rivers in the third part of The Memoirs of George Sherston, Sherston's Progress. Dialogue and banishment of the past. Sassoon came to Rivers in 1917 after publicly protesting against the war and refusing to return to his regiment, but was treated with sympathy and given much leeway until he voluntarily returned to France. Haddon's diary from Tuesday 16 August reads thus: "Our friends and acquaintances would often be very much amused if they could see us at some of our occupations and I am afraid these would sometimes give occasion to the enemy to blaspheme – so trivial would they appear. in the unconscious) by suppression. As well as his relationship with his sisters and father, we also learn of his feelings for Charles Dodgson- or Lewis Carroll. [1] Taking up his father's legacy with great zeal, by the age of 21 Hunt had published his compendious work, Stammering and Stuttering, Their Nature and Treatment. [58] His loss prompted him to write two poignant poems about the man he had grown to love: "To A Very Wise Man" and "Revisitation".[61]. The reasons for his decision were complex and had been building up over a period of time. [1] Having earned his Bachelor of Arts in 1857, he was ordained as a Church of England priest in 1858,[1] and had a career that would span almost 50 years. From Rivers' reaction to finding out that Sassoon is in hospital to the song playing in the background ('You Made Me Love You') and Ruth Head's question to her husband, "Do you think he's in love with him?" Her Robert Graves: from Great War Poet to ‘Good-bye to All That’ will be published by Bloomsbury in August 2018. "[39], The Torres Straits expedition was "revolutionary" in many other respects as well. [20], The turning point came in 1898 when Alfred Cort Haddon seduced "Rivers from the path of virtue... (for psychology then was a chaste science)... into that of anthropology:”[36] He made Rivers first choice to head an expedition to the Torres Straits. In his dream he was talking to Sassoon in both capacities. Although images of later houses were faded and incomplete, no memory since had been as inaccessible as that of the upper floor of his early home. "[30] His research was distinguished by a fidelity to the demands of experimental method very rare in the realms which he was exploring[30] and, although often overlooked, the work that Rivers did in this early period is of immense import as it formed the foundation of all that came later. The majority of those that existed seem to have perished in the same Second World War bombing raid that claimed a large percentage of the files relating to… Even in dying he had a healing effect, reconciling Sassoon and Graves after a period of serious disagreement. Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. Sassoon cannot answer. [48], Rivers's methodology for treating the war neuroses are often, and somewhat unfairly, said to have stemmed from Sigmund Freud. The Eye in the Door concentrates, for the most part, on Rivers' treatment of the fictional character of Prior. In other words, Rivers’ goal was to outline an umbrella theory which would both explain neuroses and neurological issues as he had encountered them (see the subsection "A Human Experiment in Nerve Division" above) . [1] He had agreed to run for parliament, as he said: because the times are so ominous, the outlook for our own country and the world so black, that if others think I can be of service in political life, I cannot refuse. [22] This was the first of many voyages; for, besides his great expeditions for work in the Torres Straits Islands, Melanesia, Egypt, India and the Solomon Islands, he took holiday voyages twice to the West Indies, three times to the Canary Islands and Madeira, to the United States, Norway, and Lisbon, as well as making numerous visits to France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, and lengthy ones to visit family in Australia. Rivers further defined the unconscious as a repository of instincts and associated experiences (i.e. He is also notable for having participated in the Torres Strait Islands expedition of 1898 and his consequent seminal work on the subject of kinship. There is also a striking resemblance with other products considered in this book in that the poem may come in a state closely resembling a dissociation from the experience of everyday life …. Love drove me to rebel. The file states that Sassoon is facing a 'severe mental breakdown' and is… [1], The senior Rivers was the master gunner aboard the Victory. Whilst recovering from the fever, Rivers had formed a friendship with one of his father's speech therapy students, a young Army surgeon. [1] He also became deeply immersed in the culture; in a diary he kept of the journey he comments on the buildings, picture galleries, church services, and education system, showing his wide interests and critical judgement. And yet all the time he made you feel that your life was your own to guide, and above everything that you could if you cared make something important out of it. George Pearson, the chief witness in a case related to an attempted attack on Queen Victoria by John Francis, was brought into court but was incapable of giving his evidence. He is introduced analysing Sassoon's file, who he initially believes to be a 'conchie' and is hesitant to take into his care. His sister Katharine wrote that when he came to visit the family, he would often sleep for the first day or two. Through Pat Barker's novels and in Rivers's works (particularly Conflict and Dream) we get a sense of the turmoil the doctor went through. The film follows the stories of a number of Officers of the British Army during World War I who are brought together in Craiglockhart War Hospital where they are treated for various traumas. [44] Here, as Head states, "for five happy years we worked together on week-ends and holidays in the quiet atmosphere of his rooms at St. John's College. In addition, a long letter from his regimental quartermaster, Joe Cottrill, on 19 October describing the appalling conditions the 1st Royal Welch Fusiliers were suffering at Polygon Wood—‘Three miles of morasses, shell-holes and dead men and horses through which to get the rations up’—made him strangely nostalgic for the old Front Line. William Halse Rivers Rivers was the oldest of four children, with his siblings being brother Charles Hay (29 August 1865 – 8 November 1939) and sisters Ethel Marian (30 October 1867 – 4 February 1943) and Katharine Elizabeth (1871–1939). Known before the War to his colleagues at St John’s College, Cambridge, as a lecturer in the Natural Sciences and an eminent neurologist, psychologist, ethnologist and anthropologist, Rivers came across as a shy, somewhat formal person but after starting work as a psychiatrist, first in a civilian capacity at Maghull Military Hospital in July 1915, then as a Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps at the newly-opened Craiglockhart Hospital for Officers with Nervous Diseases in October 1916, he became known far less formally as ‘Doc Willie’ and something of a saviour and friend to his patients there (Fig. Sassoon did not die, of course, living on for many more years as a fox-hunting man, but the effects of the war never wholly left him. (1857–1952). "[9], So it was that, on 25 April 1903, the radial and external cutaneous nerves of Henry Head's arm were severed and sutured. Preventing seizure occurrence following spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage: A systematic review and meta-analysis of seizure prophylaxis. [9] It may not seem surprising to us that when Rivers was to apply a needle to a particularly sensitive part of the glans that "pain appeared and was so excessively unpleasant that [Head] cried out and started away";[44] indeed, such a test could be seen as a futility verging on the masochistic. [53] For Rivers, there was a considerable dilemma involved in "curing" his patients simply in order that they could be sent back to the Western Front to die. As a scientific student whose only object should be the attainment of what I supposed to be the truth, it was definitely unpleasant to me to suspect that the opinions which I was uttering might be influenced by the needs of my position, and I was fully aware of an element of constraint in my relations with B on this account. [25] Following the footsteps of his former student—the current director of the Cambridge Psychology Laboratory—C.S. But Rivers is unable to sustain this focus throughout the work, so after a brilliant opening, the book tails off somewhat. Both men were in Melanesia when World War I broke out on 4 August 1914. Rivers has a very friendly attitude towards Sassoon, smiling at him when he takes his first sip of tea. honoris causa[30] and, in 1904 with the assistance of Professor James Ward, Rivers made a further mark on the world of psychological sciences, founding and subsequently editing the British Journal of Psychology. Equally importantly, Rivers brought Graves to see that the neurasthenia he suffered from for at least a decade after World War I ended, and for which he received a Disability Pension gave him extra powers to draw on as a poet. Appropriately, Haddon was the first to receive this award in 1924.[64]. Exasperated by the people who pitied his ‘wrong-headedness’, he reasoned, with his own particular brand of irony: How else could I get my own back on them … ? And this was the beginning of the new life toward which he had shown me the way …, There is little doubt, however, that this similarity exists. More often than not, Rivers believed that the way in which such conflict is resolved (or is attempted to be resolved) also greatly influences the manifestation of the neuroses. [25], By 1893, when he was unexpectedly invited to lecture in Cambridge on the functions of the sense organs, he was already deeply read in the subject. ), It is on this belief regarding the origins of the war neuroses that he formed his "talking cure." "[23] His insistence on veracity made him a formidable researcher, as Haddon puts it, "the keynote of Rivers was thoroughness. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Guarantors of Brain. He was chosen to be one of Victor Horsley's assistants in a series of investigations at University College, London that explored the existence and nature of electrical currents in the mammalian brain. [24], At first observation, the day after the operation, the back of Head's hand and the dorsal surface of his thumb were seen to be "completely insensitive to stimulation with cotton wool, to pricking with a pin, and to all degrees of heat and cold. That year Foster had assigned him a room in the Physiology Department at Cambridge for use in psychological research. He wanted a demographically small, fairly isolated people, comparable to the island societies of the Torres Strait, where he might be able to get genealogical data on each and every individual. A.C.H, Rivers signed the papers as he lay dying in the Evelyn Nursing Home[1] following an unsuccessful emergency operation. Though Rivers was too complex a personality, too much of a polymath perhaps, to have his ‘true mission’ so neatly defined for him, there is no doubt that he was changed by the experience: ‘There were two Rivers’, according to one of his students, Frederic Bartlett, ‘the pre-War and and the post-War; the pre-War Rivers whose way of life and thought, whose hopes and fears not many people knew; the post-War Rivers who was everywhere’. By the time he was found in the morning, it was too late and he knew it. As Leonard E. Shore recalled in 1923: "when I asked him if he would undertake that work... his eyes shone with a new light I had not seen before, and he paced his rooms for several minutes full of delight. Meantime, in 1897 Rivers’s temporary lectureship was made permanent and that same year he was appointed director of a new psychological laboratory, a post he also held at the recently-opened psychological laboratory at University College, London, two fresh honours in the growing recognition of his scholarly brilliance. He had, in fact, died in the early afternoon of the preceding day. He was survived by his widow, Henrietta Maria, and five children. Their three-month-long therapeutic relationship, intensified by the urgency of the war, exerted a powerful influence on each man’s life and ideas. and, while fond of St. John's,[35] the staid lifestyle of his Cambridge existence showed in signs of nervous strain and led him to experience periods of depression. "[39] In the normal course of events, Head would travel to Cambridge on Saturday, after spending several hours on the outpatient department of the London Hospital. Never have I known so deep a gloom settle upon the College as fell upon it at that time. One day Wilfred Owen, a short, seemingly timid officer who was also being treated by Rivers, visited Sassoon. Rows.[47]. [citation needed], Rivers did not allow his drawbacks to dishearten him,[21] and he chose to serve several terms as a ship's surgeon, travelling to Japan and North America in 1887. At about the same time, invited by Professor Sully, he began to lecture on experimental psychology at University College, London. [1] Notable members were Gunner William Rivers and his son, Midshipman William Rivers, both of whom served aboard HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship. In the preface to this book Rivers wrote that his work was “not merely the record of the customs and beliefs of a people, but also the demonstration of anthropological method”. When, in 1902, Rivers left the Nilgiri Hills and India too, he would never return. William H. R. Rivers. On July 23, 1917, 2d Lt. Siegfried Sassoon arrived at Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh to be treated for war neurosis by Royal Army Military Corps psychiatrist Capt. Almost all who have subsequently studied the Todas have been amazed at the richness and the accuracy of Rivers’s data. Dr William Halse Rivers Rivers (1864–1922) was a pioneer in many of the emerging fields of science between 1880 and 1920. A trip to Melanesia itself would follow 9 years later and a return there in 1914. [22] Here he and Henry Head met and formed a lasting friendship. This second novel in the trilogy, both implicitly and directly, addresses the issue of Rivers' possible homosexuality and attraction to Sassoon. [1] In fact, Rivers was quite sympathetic to some of Freud's ideas. [15][49] (Essays such as Freud and the War Neuroses: Pat Barker's "Regeneration" further compare Freud and Rivers' theories; see also the subsection on Rivers' Instinct and the Unconscious below; see also Rivers' Conflict and Dream for his own opinion on Freudian theory. The poem as we read it … has been the subject of a lengthy process of a critical kind, comparable with that which Freud has called the secondary elaboration of the dream. It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. Psychology began to thrive: "perhaps, in the early days of scientific progress, a subject often grows all the more surely if its workers have to meet difficulties, improvise their apparatus, and rub very close shoulders one with another. Though Graves was never formally treated by Rivers, he was, he believed, shown the way to recovery through him. An area between the northernmost tip of Australia and Melanesia, Torres Strait had its own distinct culture, which Rivers studied with his usual insight. News of Sassoon's MC and his response complicates Rivers' attempts to categorize Sassoon and his motives. There may be some naval connection, as it has been suggested that it could have been the name of someone serving alongside his uncle. We are also introduced in the course of the novel to the Canadian doctor Lewis Yealland, another factual figure who used electric shock treatment to "cure" his patients. To this end, Rivers included the protopathic sensations,[44] mass-reflex actions (as observed in spinal-cord injury patients), and basic emotions (i.e. Paul Fussell suggests in The Great War and Modern Memory (.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,.mw-parser-output .citation .cs1-lock-free a{background:linear-gradient(transparent,transparent),url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,.mw-parser-output .citation .cs1-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .citation .cs1-lock-registration a{background:linear-gradient(transparent,transparent),url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,.mw-parser-output .citation .cs1-lock-subscription a{background:linear-gradient(transparent,transparent),url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-subscription,.mw-parser-output .cs1-registration{color:#555}.mw-parser-output .cs1-subscription span,.mw-parser-output .cs1-registration span{border-bottom:1px dotted;cursor:help}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:linear-gradient(transparent,transparent),url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output code.cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;font-size:100%}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{font-size:100%}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#33aa33;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left,.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-wl-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right,.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-wl-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}ISBN 0195019180) that Rivers became the embodiment of the male "dream friend" who had been the companion of Sassoon's boyhood fantasies. A wealthy man, he supplemented the University grant with his own funds. [23] Those under Gee were conscious of his indifference towards, if not outright dislike of, the psychological aspects of medicine. [39] Between the date of the operation and their last sitting on 13 December 1907, 167 days were devoted to the investigation. [1] His paper "On a Negro's Place in Nature", delivered before the BAAS in 1863, was met with hisses and catcalls. Dr Jean Moorcroft Wilson has taught for many years at the University of London. [41] It cannot be denied that both Rivers and Haddon were serious about their work but at the same time they were imbued with a keen sense of humour and fun. Often the dream recurs in exactly the same form night after night, and even several times in one night, and the sufferer will often keep himself from sleeping again after one experience from dread of its repetition. The comparison was an apt one, and one side of the truth. The case demonstrated the ill effects of what is understood as repetitive motion injury. At the bottom is a notation in Haddon's handwriting: Dr. Rivers signed the report on this examination on the morning of the day he died. [44], It quickly became clear to Rivers, looking in on the experiment from a psycho-physical aspect, that the only way accurate results could be obtained from introspection on behalf of the patient is if the subject under investigation was himself a trained observer, sufficiently discriminative to realise if his introspection was being prejudiced by external irrelevancies or moulded by the form of the experimenter's questions, and sufficiently detached to lead a life of detachment throughout the entire course of the tests. "[9], It may seem to be a bizarre occupation for a group of highly qualified men of science, indeed, as Haddon states: "I can imagine that some people would think we were demented – or at least wasting our time. They would form the subject of his first book, The Todas (1906). Rivers was set to follow family tradition and take his University of Cambridge entrance exam, possibly with the aim of studying Classics. [9] Rivers's first reaction was to decline, but he soon agreed on learning that C.S Myers and William McDougall, two of his best former students, would participate. The Todas in the Nilgiri Hills of Southern India, with their population then about 700 plus, suited Rivers’s criteria. To Save Brave Nelson There Dear Country's Pride. Dr William Halse Rivers Rivers (1864–1922) was a pioneer in many of the emerging fields of science between 1880 and 1920.
