'''Anna O.''' was the name given to a patient of the physician and physiologist [[Josef Breuer]] in his book ''"[[Studies on Hysteria]]"'', written in collaboration with [[Sigmund Freud]]. Her actual name was '''Bertha Pappenheim'''. Her sister, [[Marie Pappenheim]], as a medical student, wrote the libretto, depicting a woman's mental breakdown, for [[Arnold Schoenberg]]'s ''[[Erwartung]]''.

She suffered from [[hysterical paralysis]], where one of her arms was paralyzed even though there was nothing medically or physically wrong with it. After study, it was discovered this was the arm she had cradled her dying father with. It was theorised that she was unconsciously stopping the use of the arm as punishment because she blamed herself for her father's death.

Through analysis with Breuer, it was discovered that by talking about what had happened when the symptoms started, she would recover a repressed fact and then recover a bit. This is what Pappenheim called her "talking cure". Breuer called the act of recovery through this method [[catharsis]]. This case was the beginning of [[psychoanalysis]], which would be later heavily developed by Freud.

  • From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
  • To an embedded anchor: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to an embedded anchor on the redirect's target page.
    • An {{anchor|(anchor name)}} or {{visible anchor}} template, a HTML element with id="(anchor name)", or an |id=(anchor name) parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links.
    • Even though section headers of the general form ==(Header name)== are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}} instead.
