Abstract

RUBIN, Claudio Eduardo. Between the neuropathology of Charcot and the psychology of Bernheim: considerations about hypnosis on the early Freudian research. Nat. hum. [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.1, pp. 102-127. ISSN 1517-2430.

Since the beginning of his inquiries about hysteria, hypnosis had a central place in the Freudian considerations; the concern for said phenomenon can be limited down to two main references: the first, concerning the bond between hysteria and hypnosis, coming from Charcot's researches and that subordinated both phenomena to the aegis of Neuropathology. The second aspect is related to the concept of Suggestion, as conceived by Bernheim, which tied hypnosis to the field of Psychology. Over the course of this article the presence of Charcot's and Bernheim's elaborations in the early Freudian texts within the subject will be pointed out, as will the limitations shown by these perspectives as Freud made progress in his researches about the psychism. Furthermore, we will present a hypothesis concerning the matter of Freud discontinuing the use of hypnosis.

Keywords : Freud; Charcot; Bernheim; hypnosis.
