Excerpt from The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1906-1907, Vol. 1
Explanations of this kind are certainly true in some cases, but it does not seem to me possible to generalize, and I think that there are a number of other explanations which must play an important part in any particular case. That is why I Should like to point out here, in connection with some interesting cases of impulsions, a disposition of the mind, quite general among the obsessed and impulsive, which plays, I think, a pretty important part in at least a certain number of cases. The observations being rather curious in themselves, we Shall give a brief résumé of them, then we Shall look for those feelings which are pretty nearly the same in spite of the diversity of the impulsions, and we Shall see the part such feelings play in the genesis of the impulsions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of hysteria, focusing on its dissociative symptoms. The author, through careful study and analysis, traces these symptoms back to repressed sexual experiences, proposing that these experiences manifest in the form of physical and emotional symptoms. The book's central theme is that the sexual instinct is a driving force behind the development of hysteria, challenging prevailing medical theories of the time. The author argues that hysteria is not a physical disorder but rather a psychological one, rooted in the subconscious mind. The book's insights have significantly contributed to our understanding of hysteria and continue to influence contemporary approaches to mental health.
