In warring Europe, the “war neuroses” were an etiopathogenetic, diagnostic and therapeutic puzzle. In Italy, younger psychiatrists shared Babinski’s theories: “neuroticized” soldiers, diagnosed as “pythiatics”, presented both a neuro-hormonal disorder and a sub-conscious negative self-suggestion. Therefore they were treated by using counter-suggestive psychotherapy, often associated with electrotherapy. However, there was a number of “pythiatics” who did not heal: they were called “unwillings” or “exaggerators”; for them very painful, suggestive, energetic and electrical psychotherapies were applied. The authors historicize this complex problem in the place of Ferrara. In the neuropsychiatric center of Villa del Seminario, the staff of prof. Gaetano Boschi developed the theory of “neuro-psychic anaphylaxis” (1916) placing the Ferrara school at the forefront of studies on war neuroses. Also in this center the phenomenon of the “unwilling” militaries took place, so that energetic electrical therapies were used (although we do not know the real extention of this practice). Director Boschi refers to a “criminal” rebellion with the unequivocal flavor of “bolshevism”; once the rebels were identified, they were reported to the Military Tribunal. “Velvet gloves” with cooperators, “iron fist” with the unwillings.
