Die Hysterie im neuen Gewand und im Wandel der Zeit

Hysteria as a classic clinical picture does not exist anymore. It was subdivided into various nosological diseases and hardly occurs in the current classification schemes DSM-IV and ICD-10. If we let Freud’s theories from over a hundred years ago act on us once more, it is impressive how many ideas and hypotheses of modern psychotraumatology can already be found in his early works. Even today, “hysteria” represents a challenge in dealing with the mind–body problem.
