Psychiatric Teaching Interview. Hysterical Personality

See also "Hysteria: The Disturbing History" amzn.to/38KK8KF
HYSTERICAL PERSONALITY DISORDER is no longer a part of the DSM, but it was in the 60s. From DSM-II: 301.5 Hysterical personality (Histrionic personality disorder): These behavior patterns are characterized by excitability, emotional instability, over-reactivity, and self-dramatization. This self-dramatization is always attention-seeking and often seductive, whether or not the patient is aware of its purpose. These personalities are also immature, self-centered, often vain, and usually dependent on others. This disorder must be differentiated from Hysterical Neurosis
The accompanying case summary:
This is a married 27 year old woman. Notice how she usually averts her gaze downward, and her affected attitude in smoking. She has an air of indifference, yet there is a provocative manner about her. Her dress is casual, her hair is well coiffeured, and she frequently makes veiled comments in interview and tries to lead the therapist down the garden path.
This lady demonstrates a personality disorder which is characterized as a hysterical personality. This is evidenced in the interview by her manipulative manner, and her attempts to control the interview by saying such things as ‘now you talk’ or ‘you’ll have to get me started’. As well as by her somewhat dramatic and suggestive statements about what her father did to her, although there is nothing in the history to indicate this. Her attitude toward the interviewer has a seductive, controlling quality. Again, this person manifests a hysterical personality disorder

It’s not that she is not a victim, she is. But her personality is cemented as-of that abusive world. Her brain’s circuitry was not developed to respond to healthy stimulation, but to dysfunction. Thus, abuse feels good as far as her brain waves go. Like, she is addicted to harmful drugs.

[@susie2366]

In the description it says that she’s acting seductively. She absolutely is not. She looks closed off emotionally (with good reason) and sad. It broke my heart to hear her say that she just wants to love everybody. That told me that her mother, the doctor and her husband are trying to isolate her from the others. It’s not uncommon for adult survivors of sexual abuse to attract people who are controlling and the abused individual often has little ability to set healthy boundaries. How could they when no respectful boundaries have been modeled and honored by those they should have been able to trust. This interview is going to haunt me for a long time.

[@lukesutton4135]

She literally married a man she hates and has cheated and continues and actively seeks sexual relations out of doctors. Did you even bother to watch the video Karen? I feel nothing for those who claim to be a "victim" yet victimizes those around them with the same treatment they dislike.

[@edl6398]

Thank you for saying this. I was born during this era and women were always considered hysterical when they weren't 100% "normal" according to what society thought women should be - which was submissive, compliant, happy as a homemaker or teacher, and quiet. Hysterectomy comes from the word hysteria. PMS was non-existent as a thing, it was just that she was being hysterical. The most incredibly frustrating and hostile time for women. Doctor's just prescribed "Mother's Little Helpers" to calm them down. Then the women had pills and alcohol to subvert the pain. This was really part of why the Women's Lib movement began - it was a backlash against all the forms of control women were under.

Very interesting. I'm always glad to see self-awareness among patients, since the first step in solving a problem is admitting there is one.

Не знаю, почему все здесь так еë жалеют, сопроводительная записка более чем профессиональна. Мне кажется кто говорит, что она жертва, а психотерапевт извращенец, никогда не общались с такими людьми. У меня был опыт общения человека с истероидным типом личности и есть некоторые похожие черты, например, когда она рассказывает историю про отца она долго молчит после этого ожидая стандартную реакцию "о боже, бедняжка" или хоть какую-то реакцию окрашенную эмоционально, но получает еë в сухом виде. Также такому типу личности обязательно нужна реакция или ответ на каждый её монолог, чтоб понимать насколько она сможет сманипулировать человеком, насколько он испытывает к ней какие-либо чувства и молчание, сухие ответы с такими людьми это профессионально, с ними нельзя показывать эмоции. Пытается пользоваться терминами психологии "Регресс до ребенка", либо эти специалисты работают по Берну, либо она сама прочитала данную книгу, и тем самым показывая, что она на одном уровне с психотерапевтом, понимает его, что можно тоже понимать как один из способов сближения. Также она курит грациозно, делает задумчивое лицо, опуская глаза вниз, также хочу отметить артистизм в конце каждой фразы, они как будто вылетают с таким звонким звуком. Это все производит на людей такое впечатление, что собственно многих и подкупает. Видно, что история в начале всех шокировала, но представьте если её слова ложь, люди с таким расстройством могут лгать в угоду себе, чтоб получить одобрение, жалость, настроить против другого человека. Также еще хочется отметить ее фразы про то, что " Находясь с мужем испытываю влечение к нему и ненавижу доктора Г., находясь с мамой испытываю влечение к ней и ненавижу своего мужа" Мне кажется, она ненавидит всех и кокетством, так называемой "любовью" хочет, чтоб ее ненависть поддерживали и ей даже не важно кто муж, мама, Доктор Г. все они пешки в её манипуляциях. И наверняка понимая, что психотерапевт может "что-то" заподозрить в её поведении, она выдает фразу "А я просто хочу любить всех", что является оправданием-манипуляцией, что не она вся такая злая, всех ненавидит, а просто так происходит Также в конце фраза психотерапевта "вы отлично справляетесь с нашей беседой" и она отвечает ему "вы читаете мои мысли, я и сама так подумала", как мне кажется это какой-то крючок, как представление, как театр, она рассказала свои истории, он еë выслушал. Её сценарий удовлетворен. Под кокетством понимается ее последняя фраза "Сейчас мне стало лучше... с вами", то есть она его выделила, хотела дать ему ценность самого себя в её глазах, не психотерапия помогла, а именно данный психотерапевт

2:52 -- "so I come in here. I thought well, I'll just get rested up, get my nerves straight, and then I'll go home and get a divorce." Surrounded by blindly oblivious people, the only sane sensible person in a group is likely to be considered "ill". A tremendously strong caring sincere woman. Trying to get help, some safety and some aware conscious helpful attention, to "control" someone into being helpful, all this was apparently considered an illness of being excessively "a person". In the old-fashioned DSM-II of the 1960's. Probably should have just gone camping in a beautiful natural environment, surrounded by thriving life, for a month of comforting leisurely relaxation, some breathing room, restoration, and inspiration. Sometimes a person needs comforting. Bring some art projects and have a beautiful contemplative time. *_Genuinely comforting environments._* 4:06 -- "Well, he's just a hardworking person. And when someone makes love to me now, I want them to be affectionate and consoling. Not just to want to have a sexual intercourse. And I have never had that."

if you speak to most people in a psych ward they won't seem crazy... Talking from my own experience there. I probably didn't seem "crazy" either, but I was one of the patients, and I needed psychiatric help. When I stayed there, there were only 2-3 patients that looked according to what you would imagine a crazy person looks like. The truth is, terribly mentally ill people frequently look like anyone else. Unfortunately, psychiatric facilities didn't change much. Sure, we don't have shock therapy and lobotomies, but those seemingly normal patients still can be medicated against their will; and life in a ward itself is very isolating and restricting. I couldn't see my friends, I couldn't use restroom without asking someone to unlock it first, they took away my art supplies before I entered (what if I stab my eye out with a pencil?), couldn't even express my emotions without being judged... The attitude didn't change much since Ken Kesey. Perhaps it's in psych wards where mentally ill people start too look crazy; 2 of those 3 patients were the once who stayed there the longest.

No. Is there 100% certainty that she was abused? Again, no, but it's not indicated in her history. Also, the term "hysterical" used today in everyday language has different connotations than it used to in th 60s in the specific context of mental health diagnosis.

The disorder is marked by dramatic and attention seeking behavior and when these are looked into consistently have no actual reality. Some would probably label it as narcissism if not a psychologist or would be completely convinced by this person. Not everything is as it appears. Contrarily much is completely backwards to how it appears when it comes to mental illness.

When Freud began hearing women describe being sexually abused by their fathers instead of dealing with the hornets' nest he had opened, he just closed it up again and labelled it 'fantasy.'

Due to constant sexual abuse, affection towards others translates into sexual desire. As she explained, this happens to her regardless of whether it is with her husband, her mother-in-law or her doctor. She is not capable of a healthy affective exchange, since she only knows excitement or hate. That is why it is classified with the word hysteria (vulgarly she would be called a whore). Although this classification is no longer used, and other scientific terms are used, it does not change the fact that it is a mental pathology, and that it must be treated from its origin, which is obviously her constant sexual abuse as a child

Yes, it leaves scars if the trauma was done as a child (in its developmental stages); the brain actually forms scar tissue in areas where it had to process the emotional or physical abuse. Which is why for young people it has the potential to stunt their ability to cope later or PTSD. Trauma they recently learned can be passed through the genes and be hereditary.

I think shes trying to lead with her truth but is well aware the people around her that are supposed to help her simply will not see her perspective. In another age, she wouldve been so much more free and not feeling like she needs approval of a therapist that just labeled her "hysteric". I hope you rest easy, ghost lady

The description clearly states there is no abuse, but you are so wedded to your first impression (even though gullible) you have to say to the person who is pointing out your gullibility to get therapy.

[@williambrandondavis6897]

What are you even talking about? She says at 4:46 that she was attracted to the doctor she was seeing before the current doctor. Before that she tells the guy she is attracted to men that will listen to and console her and how she desires to make love to someone like that. Smh

[@meyague]

seduction doesn't mean throwing yourself at someone lol

[@flababa4823]

that is female seductiveness... in a 'hard to get way.' i think this woman cannot help being seductive because of childhood abuse. i think she is clearly aware of it and it is part of the reason she has turned herself into hospital. sitting with her legs spread, 'manspreading', looking totally comfortable, that would be the opposite of being seductive. i think displaying zero interest in someone; being icy, would be sitting with my legs not folded at all, with my back upright, hands in my lap... i would not sit as she is, in a job interview, for instance. think about how you really act around someone you like and compare to this woman and maybe take notes lol even

Мне настолько её жалко, что я заплакала! Бедная девочка, она просила мать и бабушку защитить её от насильника, но она не получила этой защиты! Деформация личности, покалеченная психика, она старается, осознаёт свои отклонения, борется с этим, но ей невдомёк, что от этого неизбавиться к сожалению, потому что существует память! Вот поэтому надо брать в охапку детей и бежать от мужа урода, не надо рожать много детей, если не можешь обеспечить им психическое и в какой-то мере материальное спокойствие! Ей наверное ничем уже не поможешь, медикаменты здесь бесполезны!

I know, right? What the heck are they talking about? Would anything she did be considered "seductive" just because she is very attractive?

[@Scronkc]

@Geo Rock sure but what is and isn't seductive isn't objective, I think the issue is more that the comment is on her seductive manner rather than her mental health. You don't see, for example, "pictured in figure A is a patient with severe eczema and a rockin' behind" in most textbooks.

[@TheOn3LeftBehind]

Yup. It's purely subjective, too. He's seeing her the way he wants to see her. No one should be described as seductive because that sounds like the doctor thinks she's coming onto him. But socioculturally in the 1960s it was about normalcy (i.e., everyone being the same) and suppressing free thought, so I can see it actually being what he thought or being used as control, especially with how the majority of men viewed women.

[@hannahfancher8690]

"hysterical personality" This girl's just traumatized .

[@theplayer2319]

What she has is not hystery, it's Histrionic personality disorder. It's an illness that affect both men and women. Women are diagnosed with HPD roughly 4 times as often as men. It is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking behaviors, usually beginning in early childhood, including inappropriate seduction and an excessive desire for approval. People diagnosed with the disorder are said to be lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. One of the symptoms is Exhibitionist behavior. Maybe you think that getting naked in front of everybody is appropriate.

[@Emcostanza]

Sadly, most attractive females get treated this way. Sexually abused; mislabeled as being seductive by perverted men who project their own fantasies onto the woman; disbelieved about all of your trauma and hardships as hysterical.

How “hysteria” and “Electra complex” arose as a psychiatric diagnosis. Freud’s patients would disclose sexual abuse (often in childhood) to him, and he began to publish about it. But as his patients were from well-to-do Viennese families, it caused an outrage in his social & professional circles because in general it implied awful things about well-to-do families. He came under a lot of pressure, and he changed his “view” of these patients, deciding that they were all confabulating and actually expressing desires rather than disclosing past events. This woman first talks of people who either abused her or permitted the abuse: and how, when she has some distance from them, she hates them. This makes perfect sense. Then she says, when she is in their presence she loves them again. This sounds awfully like what was later called Stockholm syndrome.

[@bingusslingus7020]

A lot of people in the comments seem to be misinterpreting the use of the word "hysterical". It's synonymous with histrionic.
