Book, Freud V.02 (1893-1895) Studies On hysteria[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. At the end of the 19th century, neuroses that manifested themselves through somatizations, hallucinations and anxieties were called “hysterias”.. To study this phenomenon, Freud wrote Studies on Hysteria together with the doctor Breuer - an essential work for understanding psychoanalysis.. Reporting the cases of five patients - among them the famous Anna O. -, They argue that hysterics suffer because they have suppressed the memory of the events that gave rise to the illness.. It is therefore necessary to bring these traumas to light, initially through hypnosis.. But, as this does not work with some patients, Freud begins to resort to free association, making his method even more complex.
