PARAPSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES. Are women really more sensitive to nervous disorders than men? This new book by the Museum Dr. Guislain shows a curious evolution in society and psychiatry by means of 7 duo's of a woman and her psychiatrist: how did women and girls - sane or sicklive from 1800 until now? Why did so many women in the 19th century have hysteria? Which new behaviour disorders does modern society evoke? Anna O. and Sigmund Freud, Marilyn Monroe and Ralph Greeson, Hannah Green (author from I never promised you a rose garden) and her psychiatrist ... they all tell a unique story. Contributions by Lisa Appignanesi, Myriam Van Moffaert, Walter Vandereycken and many others.
