The psychoanalytic psychology of sigmund freud (1856-1939: freud had studied with charcot, visited nancy school in france, where they treated hysteria with hypnotizing, josef breuer"s cathartic method to cure a hysterical patient impressed freud.

Worked better than normal hypnosis: treated several patients successfully and convinced breuer to write studies on hysteria (1895) Hypothesis: hysterics suffer mainly from reminiscences (memories of emotionally charged experiences) developed into pathogenic ideas (disease-producing, beyond consciousness) Hysterical symptoms as conversions of emotional into physical energy. * cathartic method only worked with the few people that could be deeply hypnotized. * instead of being in a sleep-like state, they became exceptionally fluent, remained puzzled, anxious, defiant (trotzig) Trying to solve this problem led to an ambitious theory of human nature.
