HYSTERIA AND OTHER NEUROLOGICAL PAPERS. I. SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON HYSTERIA.1 Notwithstanding the voluminous literature which exists on hysteria, something always remains to observe and describe in it. And this is to be expected when it is remembered that hysteria implies disarrangement of the functions of any part of the nervous system--in its four spheres of intelligence, mobility, sensibility, and visceral neurility. Every advance in our knowledge of these mysterious functions must, therefore, lead to some new point of view in regard to hysteria, or to mental, motor, sensory, or visceral neurosis. Is it possible at the present day to formulate the fundamental condition of hysteria in such a way as to bring it into harmony with the facts of the hysterical temperament, of the general neurotic diathesis, of the vaso-motor spasms, of the special, mental, motor, and sensory phenomena of hysteria, and of the relations of the developed disease to the reproductive organs on the one hand, and to moral and social conditions on the other? It seems to me that we can assert the following to be the twofold condition fundamental to hysteria: There is in it a congenital or acquired deficiency in the power of nerve-elements to effect the storage of force in nerve-tissues. 1 The nucleus of this paper was read before the Neurological Section of the Academy of Medicine, June 11, 1886. This can only be overcome by increasing the amount of stimulus to which these elements are subjected. Conversely, the elements of those centres, which are subjected to a preponderance of stimulus, will perform the function of storage most effectively, and, in so doing, will acquire preponderance over the others. And this is done by the sensory centres of the brain. These...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hysteria is a disease already forgotten by medicine, which, in spite of this, is still very much in vogue. Its name in various academic circles and, especially, in psychoanalytic circles. However, what is today referred to as hysteria is not hysteria, and what is hysteria does not have that name. This book aims to show the form that hysteria actually took before its disappearance in the twentieth century. It aims to answer a simple question. It aims to answer a simple question: What did what was called hysteria for so many centuries look like? What characteristics did it have that identified it from other ailments? How was it dealt with? What was the cause of it? To answer these and other questions, this book makes a historical journey from the first ideas about hysteria, from the first centuries of medicine to the latest conception of it settled in the famous manual of mental disorders, the DSM. This journey is made with emphasis on the second half of the 19th century, the golden age for hysteria and the intellectual environment from which Sigmund Freud and, therefore, his creation, Psychoanalysis, drew nourishment. As happens with any look into the past, many myths become evident as such and, at the same time, are dissolved by looking at the historical facts that involve them. For example, one can see how the idea that hysterical patients were despised by physicians as simulators is false. Or, it can be seen that Freud was never the first to listen to these supposed patients ignored by physicians or that he was not the first or the only one to consider sexuality to explain hysteria. These and many other myths, such as that patients were treated by provoking them to orgasm, are easily debunked in this book. This book is obviously addressed to anyone interested in knowing, with accuracy and detail, what hysteria consisted of, as well as to those interested in seeing the reality behind the mythical foundations of Psychoanalysis, since it was born out of hysteria and to which it dedicated its existence. In short, this book is a modern treatise on hysteria, intended to answer a simple answer to a simple but complex question: What the heck is hysteria?
Download or read book Out of the Dead House written by Susan Wells and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decades of the nineteenth century, two thousand women physicians formed a significant and lively scientific community in the United States. Many were active writers; they participated in the development of medical record-keeping and research, and they wrote self-help books, social and political essays, fiction, and poetry. Out of the Dead House rediscovers the contributions these women made to the developing practice of medicine and to a community of women in science. Susan Wells combines studies of medical genres, such as the patient history or the diagnostic conversation, with discussions of individual writers. The women she discusses include Ann Preston, the first woman dean of a medical college; Hannah Longshore, a successful practitioner who combined conventional and homeopathic medicine; Rebecca Crumpler, the first African American woman physician to publish a medical book; and Mary Putnam Jacobi, writer of more than 180 medical articles and several important books. Wells shows how these women learned to write, what they wrote, and how these texts were read. Out of the Dead House also documents the ways that women doctors influenced medical discourse during the formation of the modern profession. They invented forms and strategies for medical research and writing, including methods of using survey information, taking patient histories, and telling case histories. Out of the Dead House adds a critical episode to the developing story of women as producers and critics of culture, including scientific culture.
