  Abstract:  
Representations of War and Trauma in Pat Barker’s Regeneration. The Regeneration Trilogy focuses on the British soldiers of the Great War who, besides their physical wounds, often suffered from psychic and psychosomatic disorders, more or less disabling. The aim of this article is to discuss how trauma generated neurological and psychic disorders and affected the lives of soldiers, how the doctors of the time attempted to cure them and make them able to return to the frontlines. The article refers mostly to Regeneration, the first novel in the sequence.

Keywords: army, aphasia, neurosis, trauma, treatment, war.
