Studies in Hysteria (Penguin Classics)

Studies in Hysteria (Penguin Classics)

Hysteriaâ€”the tormenting of the body by the troubled mindâ€”is among the most pervasive of human disorders; yet, at the same time, it is the most elusive. Freudâ€™s recognition that hysteria stemmed from traumas in the patientâ€™s past transformed the way we think about sexuality. Studies in Hysteria is one of the founding texts of psychoanalysis, revolutionizing our understanding of love, desire, and the human psyche. As full of compassionate human interest as of scientific insight, these case histories are also remarkable, revelatory works of literature.
