Document Summary

The hysteria was converted into a neurological problem, causing the paralysis: doctors weren"t terribly sensitive to the condition. Freud was sought out as he was sensitive to it. The interpretation of dreams (1900): the book wasn"t received well in the medical field: an american was however impressed with the concept. He gets the book translated into english and sold in the usa. Freud has started believing that conversion hysteria"s origin is buried in the subject"s unconscious mind: he tries to devise ways to access the unconscious mind. Cocaine: removed censorship of every day life. This concept was dismissed after his friend became addicted to coke. Hypnosis: spent 1-3 months experimenting with this. The talking cure: developed by bruer; allowed his client to speak to him, uninterrupted. The more they talked, the more relaxed they became, and in turn they recalled more events.
