Studies In Hysteria

""Studies in Hysteria"" is a groundbreaking book co-authored by Josef Breuer and Sigmund Freud, originally published in 1895. The book is a collection of case studies that explore the nature of hysteria and its treatment. Breuer and Freud's work challenges the traditional medical understanding of hysteria as a physical ailment and instead argues that it is a psychological disorder caused by repressed emotions and traumatic experiences. The book includes detailed case studies of patients who suffered from various symptoms of hysteria, including paralysis, convulsions, and amnesia. Through these case studies, Breuer and Freud demonstrate the effectiveness of their new treatment method, which involved the use of hypnosis and the ""talking cure"" to help patients confront and process their repressed emotions. ""Studies in Hysteria"" is considered a seminal work in the development of psychoanalysis and has had a significant impact on the field of psychology and psychiatry.Nervous And Mental Disease Monograph Series No. 61.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
