Freud - Studies on Hysteria - The Case of Katharina (LIVE READING)

For this session, we'll experiment with the live reading format for this short (but intriguing) study.

"Much will be gained if we succeed in transforming your hysterical misery into common unhappiness."

Join CogSci’s Psychoanalysis Reading Group as we explore the case studies that laid the foundation for the Freudian revolution.
Each session dives into Freud’s Studies on Hysteria, the text that launched the Psychoanalytic movement. These early case studies not only shaped Freud’s thinking but sparked the emergence of psychoanalysis as a discipline.

Freud’s ideas have left a lasting mark on science, philosophy, and art. As part of a cognitive science community, we welcome interdisciplinary perspectives. No background in psychoanalysis is required—just a curious mind!

Note: This is a discussion group, not a therapeutic space. I’m not a licensed therapist—just a fellow enthusiast.
