Description
Hysteria offers an original and thought-provoking theory of hysteria, weaving together well-known features such as repressed sexual ideas and over-identification with the other into a cohesive framework.
Christopher Bollas argues that sexuality is traumatic to all children, transforming their relationship with their caregivers. For the hysteric, this recognition is endlessly traumatic, leading to an organised opposition to this knowledge. This insightful book brings new perspectives to long-standing ideas in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, making it a valuable read for students, professionals, and anyone interested in understanding personality formation in western culture.
