War has a profound impact on a person, injuring more than just the body. Whilst war creates mental suffering, it is ultimately unclear how deep these mental wounds are.


From World War I and II, to Vietnam, and to the Gulf War, the concept and definition of war has changed over time. Each war has resulted in differing psychological casualties and new definitions for previously misunderstood phenomena.


Yet while we have made significant strides in recognising not just the physical but also the mental cost of conflict, controversy continues to rage over how to define and classify the mental suffering caused by war.


Further, the advancement of new types of warfare, such as asymmetric and drone warfare, brings changes not only to how people fight but also how they process and cope with war in the aftermath.


How have the psychological impacts of war changed over time? What are the psychological consequences of war and trauma? How differently does war affect combatants and civilians?


In the next of his acclaimed In Conversation series, Richard Iron talks to Professor Sir Simon Wessely about the psychological cost of war to both combatants and civilians.
