Description
The Symptoms of Hysteria II. Hysterics were observed arching their backs in the second stage of a hysterical attack, as depicted in the sketch of a patient in CharcotÍs clinic. Many demoniacs like this female demoniac were reported to have demonstrated similar agility. According to Charcot, the exercise was difficult but not impossible to perform.
