Document Summary
Freud: more concerned with why the hysteria came about; to breuer it"s just because of the state. Hypnoid hysteria: subject is unable to integrate ideas which emerge during these states into herself or her story. When referring to someone in psychoanalysis, words like individual and self are imprecise since they imply wholeness whereas psychoanalysis emphasizes multiple selves, self is more subjective. Charcot: theater of hysteria, treatment method was to put patient under hypnosis and suggest to them while in this state that these symptoms are not real and will go away. If there was no organic lesion or cause in the body, belief was that the illness or hysteria was caused by suggestion by someone else or the subject making it up. Freud: while treating hysteria, comes across unconscious, fantasy, defensive conflict, repression, identification, and transference; major concepts in psychoanalysis.
