\n

The McGoogan Health Sciences Library will host an author talk with Monica Schmidt titled, \u201cLate of the 5th<\/sup> Northumberland Fusiliers: Dr. John H. Watson\u2019s Invisible War.\u201d It is scheduled for Nov. 7 at noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A licensed mental health counselor and Sherlock Holmes expert, Schmidt will explore the movement from literary fiction to a clinically accurate portrayal of a man struggling with what now is known as post-traumatic stress disorder.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody knows Sherlock Holmes as an eccentric but incredibly clever London-based detective who, along with his friend Dr. John H. Watson, solves Victorian-era mysteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But who is this Watson? Depending upon the author or the actor, he\u2019s portrayed as an adventurous man of action or a befuddled \u201cBoobus Britannicus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon their initial meeting, Holmes deduces that Watson was an army doctor wounded in Afghanistan.\u00a0What Holmes couldn\u2019t have known was that Watson was a survivor of one of the deadliest battles of the second Afghan War and was struggling to find his footing after being invalided from the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2013, Schmidt has been a staple in the Sherlockian conference and lecture circuit, speaking about Sherlock Holmes and mental health. She received the investiture of \u201cJulia Stoner\u201d from The Baker Street Irregulars in 2019 and \u201cThe Church of St. Monica\u201d from The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes in 2015. She practices near Iowa City, Iowa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will take place in person in the library, room WHM 6033, and via Zoom. Registration is required<\/a> for the Zoom link.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
