| Popis: | At the end of the 19th century, several authors became interested in the physical and psychological symptoms resulting from traumatic life events. Oppenheim presented 42 detailed clinical observations. He suggested the term "traumatic neurosis." Charcot, who was interested in male hysteria, published over 20 cases of traumatic hysteria between 1878 and 1893. The symptoms were considered to have a dynamic or functional origin. The role of horror and terror during the trauma was emphasized. However, Charcot opposed the idea of traumatic neuroses as specific syndromes as he considered them to be only an etiological form of hystero-neurasthenia. In The Tuesday Lessons (Les Leçons du Mardi), he presents several observations. They are surprising when compared with the current criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although he had rejected this new entity, a hundred years before the appearance of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition, Revised, Charcot described most of the symptoms mentioned for a diagnosis of PTSD such as intrusion (reliving the trauma, nightmares, and severe emotional distress), avoidance, negative changes in thinking and mood (negative thoughts, lack of interest, etc.), arousal, and reactivity (trouble sleeping, trouble concentrating, being easily startled or frightened, irritability, etc.). |
