Studies In Hysteria by Sigmund Freud
A collection of clinical case studies and theoretical reflections that introduces a cathartic, talk-based approach to treating hysterical symptoms by tracing them to unconscious traumatic memories and repressed affects; through detailed patient histories and therapeutic dialogues it demonstrates how conversion of psychic conflict into physical symptoms can be relieved by bringing buried material to consciousness, and it lays conceptual groundwork for repression, the unconscious, symptom formation, and the therapeutic value of verbal exploration.
