"This volume embraces a number of virtues often absent in medical writing. The prose is more than competent; at times, it sings. There are several excellent patient histories... The references are conveniently collected in the back... There are interesting chapters on sexism in the diagnosis of hysterical personality disorder and on the sick role in hysteria." -- American Journal of Psychiatry

Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), red cloth board cover, top edge foxed, corner creased front flap jacket, minor edgewear. 220 pp. Phillip Slavney explores the historical, intellectual and clinical roots of hysteria, a condition that has puzzled experts for centuries, and which has been subject to much criticism, for example, from feminists (as hysteria is most commonly diagnosed in women). Separate sections examine hysteria differently defined as disease, dimension, behaviour, and as a life-story. Although condemned by physicians, the concept is nevertheless still popular.
