THE PSYCHOANALYTIC TREATMENT Of HYSTERO-EPILEPSY
BY L. E. EMERSON, PH. D.
Psychologist, Massachusetts General Hospital; Examiner in Psychotherapy,
Psychopathic Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts; Assistant in Neurology,
Graduate School of Medicine, Harvard University.
WHEN a new method of working in any field of endeavor is devised, or a new
point of view is discovered, it is natural to turn to other similar fields
to see if the method will work there. This is what is done when one
approaches the study of Epilepsy from the point of view of psychoanalysis.
It is not my purpose to undertake an exhaustive psychoanalytic study of
Epilepsy. Neither is it my purpose to enter into a discussion of the
problems of differential diagnosis. It has already been shown, in borderland
cases, that one cannot tell the difference between epilepsy and hysteria,
without a prolonged psychoanalysis, and even then one cannot be certain.
This suggests that the whole thing is more or less a matter of definition.
Into such questions I cannot enter. My aim is much more modest. The
immediate purpose of my paper is to study some of the problems of therapy,
from the psychoanalytic point of view, of that small class of patients on
the borderline between hysteria and epilepsy, or patients with epileptiform
attacks.
