Zones hystérogènes de la face antérieure du corps: [Fig. extraite de l'iconographie photographique de la Salpêtrière, par Bourneville et Regnard, t. III, p. 48]

Description

Abstract:
A diagram representing points of origin of hysteria-related pains and bouts of hypersensibility/aenesthesia. This particular hysteria is linked to sexual mania in young men. Freud would later use these diagrams and accompanying theories to write about hysteria in male subjects and desire in relationship to pain.
