Resumo

The case of Fräulein Anna O (Bertha Pappenheim) was the first detailed by Breuer and Freud in 'Studien über Hysteria' (1895). The case history is examined and an organic causation postulated. The fallacies of psychogenesis and of hysteria as a disease are mentioned. Breuer's claim of cure by the cathartic method appears unfounded.
