Sigmund Freud
1910
A scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work presents a series of lectures given by Freud that explore the foundations and developments of psychoanalysis, as well as its techniques and applications in understanding psychological conditions such as hysteria. Freud delves into specific case studies and therapeutic approaches, particularly regarding the treatment of hysteria and the underlying mechanisms of psychological symptoms. The opening of the book introduces Freud addressing a diverse audience at Clark University, where he aims to provide an overview of the origins and evolution of psychoanalysis as a developing investigative and therapeutic method. He recounts the case of Dr. Josef Breuer's patient, a young woman suffering from hysteria, whose various symptoms seemed to arise from traumatic experiences associated with the emotional turmoil of caring for her ill father. Freud highlights the initial challenges faced by Breuer in understanding and treating his patient's condition, and he begins to lay the groundwork for discussing the pivotal concepts of trauma, memory, and the psychoanalytic techniques that would emerge from these early investigations.
