"Freud contributed a short preface to Stekel's treatise on anxiety states. Stekel had been one of the first of Freud's colleagues to learn psychoanalytics techniques, and exhibited a particular talent for symbolism and the detection of repressed material; however, Freud later broke with Stekel over the latter's lack of scientific integrity [to be precise, inventing case histories to illustrate his theories]" [Norman Catalog].

"Competing theories about hysteria circulated in the latter half of the [17th] century. London physician Thomas Sydenham used the term in a nonspecific sense to signify any mental disorder short of what we would call outright psychosis" [Stone Healing the Mind, p.42]. Sydenham, for whom hysteria was a catch-all category more or less corresponding to what we call 'neurosis,' diagnosed hysteria in a sixth of his patients, noting that depression often accompanied the symptoms and that they could co-exist with physical disease. Also contains separate discussions of madness.
