Hysteria Invents Psychoanalysis - 2014.


5

At the time he published Studies on hysteria, Freud discovered that hysteria is a call to another, like transference. The psychoanalyst is then required to hear the patient’s message as a third person, a representative of figures of the patient’s past. This enables the patient to drive the past back to the past and then live in the present and future.
