Contemporary Approaches to the Study of Hysteria - Clinical and Theoretical Perspectives

Zusatztext This book is a welcome addition to the literature on hysteria and provides a balanced and generally critical review of contemporary theories on classification, epidemiology, aetiology and management... This book can be recommended to all those interested in the bewildering yet fascinating hinterland between neurology and psychiatry. Zusammenfassung Patients with symptoms which have no discernible physical cause are typically labelled as suffering from hysterical conversion. This book covers aspects neglected by previous works on this condition, moving away from traditional historico-sociological accounts towards neuroscientific theories about the causes and categorization of hysteria
