This worthy successor to Juliet Mitchell's pathbreaking
Psychoanalysis and Feminism is both a defense of the long-dismissed
diagnosis of hysteria as a centerpiece of the human condition and a
plea for a new understanding of the influence of sibling and peer
relationships.In Mad Men and Medusas Mitchell traces the history of
hysteria, arguing that we need to reclaim hysteria to understand
how distress and trauma express themselves in different societies
and different times. Mitchell convincingly demonstrates that
although hysteria may have disappeared as a disease, it is still a
critical factor in understanding psychological development through
the life cycle.
