'The effect that psychoanalysis has had upon the life of the West is incalculable'
- Lionel Trilling
The tormenting of the body by the troubled mind, hysteria is among the most pervasive of human disorders - yet at the same time it is the most elusive. Freud's recognition that hysteria stemmed from traumas in the patient's past transformed the way we think about sexuality.
