The hysteric is the iconic figure of psychoanalysis: Her symptoms fed the theoretical insight of Charcot, Breuer and Freud; they inspired the Surrealists as the source of a new creative madness and independent femininity; for Lacan, she forms the model representing the true quest for knowledge; for Baudrillard, she constitutes the model for rootless consumer desire. The hysteric provides a model for critics as the embodiment of the wrongs of psychoanalysis, her treatment a testament to forceful misreadings of the symptoms exhibited by young and vulnerable women in the interests of male power, some of whom defiantly refused its message.
