The collection A. A. Brill published in 1909 and later expanded, reprinted in Great Books of the Western World. It gathers Freud's early papers on hysteria, including the 1893 preliminary communication with Josef Breuer and the theoretical and case material from Studies on Hysteria, together with essays on the sexual causes of neurosis and the psychotherapy of hysteria. Here the cathartic method, repression and the talking cure first take shape.
