The mystery of hysteria played a major role in the early development of psychoanalysis. The famed Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud had studied with Charcot, so he had first-hand experience observing patients who had been diagnosed with the ailment as well as Charcot's treatment methods. Anna had found that simply talking about her problems with her therapist had a major impact on her well-being. She dubbed this treatment the "talking cure" and it is still referred to as talk therapy to this day.
Carl Jung, a colleague of Freud's, treated a young woman named Sabina Spielrein who was also thought to suffer from hysteria. Jung and Freud often discussed Spielrein's case, which had an impact on the theories they developed.
Spielrein herself trained as a psychoanalyst and helped introduce the psychoanalytic approach in Russia before she was murdered by Nazis during World War II. In , the American Psychological Association changed their diagnosis of "hysterical neurosis, conversion type" to that of " conversion disorder. Dissociative disorders are psychological disorders that involve an interruption a dissociation in aspects of consciousness, including identity and memory.
These types of disorders include dissociative fugue, dissociative identity disorder, and dissociative amnesia. In the most recent update of the DSM, the DSM-5, symptoms that were once labeled under the broad umbrella of hysteria fit under what is now referred to as somatic symptom disorder.
Somatic symptom disorder involves having a significant focus on physical symptoms such as weakness, pain, or shortness of breath. This preoccupation with symptoms results in significant distress and difficulties with normal functioning. The individual may or may not have a medical condition. It is important to note that this does not involve faking an illness; whether the person is sick or not, they believe that they are ill.

The Witchcraft of Salem Village. Random House, Fowler, Samuel Page. Samuel Parris of Salem Village. William Ives and George W. This site helped a lot for me to understand the history of Salem. It also helped with my reading assignment. I wonder how many people ran away from The Salem Witch Trials. It seems like an easier thing to do than just sit there and be accused. Also i seems like a smarter thing to do at the moment if you had a rival with one of the families in town. Not many people fled Salem, only a handful did, because Salem was their home and had been for a long time.
Where can I get a copy of the Salem map that you posted? I could use this for classroom use…. I think they where viewed in an horrible way, because the people who where accused where not really witches. Brooks, Rebecca Beatrice. Smithsonia, 8 Sept. Hi Sarah, I am the author and publisher of this blog. This site is not a part of the Smithsonian website.
Hope that helps with your bibliography. I love this site! Did you know they executed 2 dogs?! How inhumane! It disgusts me but at the same time interests me, and makes me want to learn more. When was this site last edited? Do you have a version number for this site?
Also, when was his last updated? Thank you, using this as a source! This article was last updated on Nov 22, It is sad where the mind-set was back then. The preacher sad they could not kill the devil by shooting the dog but did anyway. Then after said the dog died so it must have been innocent. A child pointed to a dog and said it bewitched me and shot the dog immediately.
Then say they were wrong. Then they even do a greater injustice by not only torturing folks in prison but hanging 19 of them and then putting rocks on a 71 year old man until he died because he would not state he was guilty or innocent some old English law if accused refused to make a plea. Thank you so much for this! Do you know if their are any reports from some of the people in the villiage? Most of the eyewitness accounts can be found in the court records and the books written by the ministers involved in the trials.
I find the history interesting and would like to find more information on this matter. I think in some forms that witches still exist in hidden arenas. If there is anyone has found anymore supporting theories please share. I am looking forward to the challenge of uncovering a multitude of analysis on this matter.
Hi Rebecca…I saw that you have a lot of knowledge about Mary Easty…I was told this year at a funeral that I am a direct decendent of hers…I live in Salem and My Grandfather was name William Estey…do you by any chance have any history of the family tree?
Unfortunately, I do not have any information on her family tree but you might want to check out a genealogy site like ancestry. Ancestry is the easiest way. Just pay for a month and go nuts adding records to a tree. Lines going back to Salem and Colonial New England in general are usually well documented.
It will be very easy. I have countless ancestors out of Massachusetts Bay Colony and one of my grandmothers was Martha Carrier. Her son Richard is one of my 8th great grandfathers and I keep waiting for a DNA match to pop up with one of his other descendants. I need a bibliography for my class report. Native Americans and other religions represented threats by the Devil.

In , New England revolted and deposed the government of the Dominion of New England, and sent a representative back to London to report it, only to find that Parliament had deposed James II, and replaced him with William and Mary.
William was happily a Calvinist, but not even that changed the fact New England theocracy was at an end. No more restricting property ownership and voting rights to only church members. The devil had won. Salem witch trial started as feud between Porters n putnums cuz putnums felt Porters gave too much freedom to their black servants.
After my greaty great uncle Israel Porter formed political group to gather support against putnums, putnums responded by accusing supporters n friends of Porter Family of witchcraft esp their daughters.
Hysteria was from little girls facin threat of death by torture. They basically played the trump card of the times.
Church was all powerful in those days. No way to fight its power. Luckily ann putnum jr lived to apologize. That darn Satan fooled them good. Oh well, live n learn. Its sad when you can pick out names of your relatives in every list. Porters never forgot about this n intermarried with many of the families afterwards. We also have kept good records of everything. Let me know if you are related to story too. I guarantee Im not related to any putnum.
Does anyone know who was the last one to be accused of witchcraft and died , all she did was healing and someone who she knew turned her in. I Think it was her kids.
