Hysteria is a graphic novel account of the first steps, errors, and frustrations of Sigmund Freuds career, which would lead to the foundation of a revolutionary new clinical therapy: psychoanalysis. The book traces Freuds early training in neurological research and medicine; the crucial turning-point of his studies with Jean-Martin Charcot at La Salptrire; and his establishment of a therapeutic practice in Vienna.Perfectly matching text and illustrations, Hysteria recounts Freuds interest in his colleague Josef Breuers "Anna O" case study, as well as giving an account of his own case histories of hysteria, particularly the treatment of Frulein Elisabeth von R. The studies brought to life in this authoritative, beautifully illustrated graphic novel are collected in Freud and Breuers co-authored Studies in Hysteria, which marked the birth of psychoanalysis.
