She was treated by Sigmund Freud's mentor, Josef Breuer, who diagnosed her with \"hysteria.\" Together, Pappenheim and Breuer developed what she called \"the talking cure\"--talking out memories to eliminate symptoms. Freud renamed her \"Anna O\" and appropriated her ideas to form the theory of psychoanalysis. All his life, he told lies about her. For over a century, writers have argued about her illness and cure. \u003cp\u003e In this unusual work of science, history, and psychology, Brownstein does more than describe the controversies surrounding this extraordinary woman. He brings Pappenheim to life--a brilliant feminist thinker, a crusader against human trafficking, and a pioneer--in the hustling and heady world of nineteenth-century Vienna. At the same time, he tells a parallel story that is playing out in leading medical centers today, about patients who suffer symptoms very much like Pappenheim's, and about the doctors who are trying to cure them--the story of the neuroscience of a condition now called FND. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Secret Mind of Bertha Pappenheim\u003c\/i\u003e argues for the healing art of listening and describes the new \"talking cures\" emerging out of neuroscience today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541774643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gabriel Brownstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43644025438389,"sku":"9781541774643","price":27.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_26ce086e-9fc9-4665-a8cf-9b911b05f373.jpg?v=1708446070","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-secret-mind-of-bertha-pappenheim-the-woman-who-invented-freuds-talking-cure-9781541774643","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
