It was through his early encounters with women in distress that Freud began to develop radically new understandings of symptoms and the relationship between doctor and patient. A century after it was written as a founding document of psychoanalysis, Breuer's and Freud's Studies on Hysteria still challenges us with questions about the location of psychic pain in the body and about the role of cultural in the ways that such pain is located, understood and treated. In this volume, many of today's most renowned psychoanalysts and cultural theorists come together to reread these case reports with modern eyes.
