HYSTERIA TODAY
Book ID/图书代码： 02890016B90652
English Summary/英文概要： Hysteria, one of the most diagnosed conditions in human history, is also one of the most problematic.
Can it even be said to exist at all? Since the earliest medical texts people have had something to say
about ‘feminine complaints’. Over the centuries, theorisations of the root causes have lurched from
the physiological to the psychological to the socio‐political. Thanks to its dual association with
femininity and with fakery, the notion of hysteria inevitably provokes questions about women, men,
sex, bodies, minds, culture, happiness and unhappiness. To some, it may seem extraordinary that
such a contested diagnosis could continue to merit any mention whatsoever. Nonetheless, after being
discarded by the American Psychiatric Association in 1952, it has continued to make its appearance,
not least in later editions of the DSM, in the form of ‘hysterical neurosis (conversion type)’ or craftily
rebranded as ‘histrionic personality disorder’. In contrast with the old‐fashioned cliché of the
cantankerous malingerer, Jacques Lacan has associated the hysteric with the scientist and seeker
after truth. The book is a collection of essays whose purpose is to reopen the case for hysteria and to
see what relevance, if any, the term may have within contemporary clinical practice. Contributors
include Vincent Dachy, Anouchka Grose, Darian Leader, Geneviève Morel, Leonardo S. Rodríguez,
Colette Soler, and Anne Worthington.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 歇斯底里，是人类历史上最常被诊断、同时也最不确定的一种症状。这样一种症状，我们究竟能不能确定的说，它是存在的呢？根据最早期的医学文献，人们便已经有了一些关于“女性式抱怨”的记载。而在随后的数个世纪中，有关这一症状根源的理论依据更是一度从生理因素转至心理因素，甚至被归结为与社会政治因素息息相关。多亏了这一症状与女性特质以及佯装行为的双重关联性，歇斯底里的定义必不可免的激发了人们对于女性、男性、性、身体、思想、文化、幸福与不幸福等相关问题的怀疑与探讨。某种意义上，这样一个充满争议的诊断能够持续地引发关注，并不论怎样都不断被提及，这一现象本身就已经堪称无与伦比了。尽管如此，自从1952年美国精神分析协会废弃了这一诊断后，歇斯底里依旧不断出现在人们的视野中，尤其是在后来数版的《精神病诊断和统计手册》（DSM）中，以“癔病性神经症（转换型）”的形式，或是巧妙重组成“表演型人格障碍”的形式出现。与过于老式的易怒型佯病者进行对比后，雅克•拉康将歇斯底里与科学家及真理的追寻者联系到了一起。本书座位一本论文选集，旨在让读者们再次阅读有关于歇斯底里症状的相关案例，重新认识歇斯底里这一概念与当代临床诊断之间的任何可能存在的关联性。本书中文献的作者包括文森特•达奇、阿努什卡•格罗斯、达瑞安•理德、詹妮薇芙•莫瑞、莱昂纳多•S•洛迪古斯、柯莱特•索勒，及安妮•沃辛顿。（DC）
