Most PTSD authors agree that Abram Kardiner's "Traumatic Neuroses of War" is the seminal psychological work on PTSD. In this work Kardiner distilled much psychiatric thought on the traumatic syndrome resulting from World War II, with what he had termed "neurosis of war." The symptoms of this syndrome included features such as fixation on the trauma, constriction of personality functioning and atypical dream life. Kardiner provided powerful new insights in these classic texts on the phenomenology, nosology, and treatment of war-related stress, thereby anticipating virtually every aspect of contemporary research on PTSD. Although Kardiner had observed war neuroses since 1925, when he was attending specialist at the U.S. Veterans Hospital, he was only able to theorize them to his satisfaction after he had written "The Individual and His Society," which dealt with the problems of adaptation. He came to see that in the traumatic neurosis of the war the defensive maneuver to ward off the trauma sometimes destroyed the individual's adaptive capacity. Thus, the traumatic neurosis of war was the result of an adaptive failure, not a conflictual illness. So concluding, Kardiner re-introduced the concept of traumatic neurosis into psychoanalytic theory.

L'interet historique de ce texte est manifeste en ce qu'il cerne un moment important du mouvement psychanalytique. Mais le compte-rendu de cette analyse constitue surtout un document clinique exceptionnel: le recit de cet homme, qui, a l'apogee de sa celebrite, "n'est pas encore sur de ne pas finir comme un clochard", est un des rares textes passionnants sur l'angoisse d'abandon et sans doute le souhait d'echec dans l'hysterie masculine. C'est enfin une mise au point quant a la technique freudienne et ce qu'il en est du desir de l'analyste dans la dialectique de la cure: Freud parle en filigrane de son propre desir et on ne peut qu'etre frappe de la difference de son attitude avec ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler la "bienveillante neutralite" du psychanalyste. On considerera sans doute sous un angle different ses ecrits techniques apres avoir lu le temoignage de Kardiner. "Temoignage irremplacable, et d'autant plus precieux qu'il est apporte par un homme lucide, modeste, capable d'humour, et qui est en droit d'intituler le dernier chapitre de son livre: Cinquante-cinq ans avec la psychanalyse." Mikel Dufrenne. Psychanalyste et anthropologue, Abram Kardiner (1891-1981) est l'un des pionniers du culturalisme americain, sinon la figure marquante de ce courant.
