From the publisher

Steeped in Lacanian theory, this book is the first of its kind to present a longitudinal approach to the study of hysteria.

In these 21 seminars Dr Melman leads us from the first records of hysteria to Freud's major discovery of the principal concepts of trauma, incompatibility, repression and the unconscious. Peppered with invaluable clinical examples, the author guides readers through difficult concepts as he links hysteria to the birth of psychoanalysis itself, and demonstrates how the reader may become implicated in this discourse.

Capturing Melman's indomitable spirit, Studies on Hysteria Revisited will be an important read for graduate students, clinicians, and those in psychoanalytic formation.
