Bing Crosby aids in the treatment of post-traumatic stress
Ever heard of this one? Special films were developed in the 1940s to aid in the treatment of post - traumatic stress, manic depression, anxiety disorder and similar conditions. It seems Bing was involved with the company and his songs were used on the soundtrack of some of their films, though only six were made in total.
A treatment of the story here
- and a page from a contemporaneous medical journal here (194610)2:4%3C333::AID-JCLP2270020405%3E3.0.CO;2-P/abstract
They must be in error about the precise titles used - 'Going My Way' with Eddie Dunstedter at the organ? 'Home On The Range' with the organ? Let's hear them please, (though there was a radio performance of 'Going My Way' with Dunstedter as conductor).
Viewing the only film that seems to be available is slightly strange. Audio for that is 'When The Mighty Organ Played - - ', and that is with Lt Col Eddie Dunstedter. Expand the picture out to full screen and opt for the high definition version. These days the images would easily be accomplished on computer but how they did it in the 1940s I can't begin to guess.
