ABSTRACT
This chapter will be devoted to certain types of neurosis known as “hysteriform conditions,” which in some respects resemble hysteria, but which in other respects differ from it considerably, and at times present clinical states that are transitions from hysteria to psychoses. In common with conversion hysteria, they all number among their symptoms, objective or subjective alterations in physiological function, which in the final analysis are found to be determined by a psychic conflict.
