This is an investigation of the history of hysteria which argues for its resuscitation in understanding the human condition. The author uses her clinical experience, classic case histories and Freud's own self-analysis to show how male hysteria came to be written out of psychoanalysis.

A provocative and powerful investigation of the history of hysteria which argues for its resuscitation in understanding the human condition. Mitchell uses her clinical experience, classic case histories and Freud's own self analysis to show how male hysteria came to be written out of psychoanalysis. She makes a convincing case for the importance of sibling rivalry in understanding the causes of hysteria and for the term to be reclaimed as a diagnostic tool.
