Anna O and the ‘talking cure’

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

‘At the time of her falling ill (in 1880) Fräulein Anna O was twenty-one years old’. Thus begins one of the most famous of all case histories.1 Its author was Dr Josef Breuer. A kind, cultivated and generous man, Breuer was one of the most distinguished physicians of his time, and he counted the great surgeon Theodor Billroth among his patients. He was also an eminent neurophysiologist and discovered the action of the vagus nerve on respiration, as well as the function of the semicircular canals. For some years he engaged a young man named Sigmund Freud to work in his laboratory at the university of Vienna, and it was Freud who eventually managed to persuade him to publish the details of Anna's illness and treatment.
