Mad Men And Medusas by Juliet Mitchell
A provocative and powerful investigation of the history of hysteria which argues for its resuscitation in understanding the human condition. Mitchell uses her clinical experience, classic case histories and Freud's own self analysis to show how male hysteria came to be written out of psychoanalysis. She makes a convincing case for the importance of sibling rivalry in understanding the causes of hysteria and for the term to be reclaimed as a diagnostic tool.
Juliet Mitchell is a member of the International Psychoanalytical Association and a university lecturer in Gender and Society, and Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge. Her many books include PSYCHOANALYSIS AND FEMINISM, a new edition of which was published by Penguin in May 2000 and WHO'S AFRAID OF FEMINISM?, co-edited with Ann Oakley.
