Concept information
Preferred term
neurosis
Definition
- Sigmund Freud's early work with neurotic patients was in a population that was totally disabled and dependent on others for care. Conversion hysteria was reportedly rampant in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century, and Freud's work as a neurologist exposed him to a large number of cases of total disability where no clear-cut organic etiology was evident.
