Physicians use the term psychoneuroses to include a group of nervous disorders of so-called functional nature. ❋ Abraham Myerson (1914)
A whole class of nervous disorders, what are known as psychoneuroses, are directly attributed by Dr. Sigmund Freud and the psychoanalytic school, as it is called, to these suppressions, many of which consist of memories that go back to the period of early childhood before the sexual instinct had attained the form that it has in adults. ❋ Robert Ezra Park (1926)
He has a keen sense of the significance of psychiatric knowledge in a proper understanding of the various results of trauma, and lays special stress upon the breadth of the psychiatric field, under which he properly enough includes the various so-called psychoneuroses as well as epilepsy, tics and aphasia. ❋ Unknown (1916)
The majority of the seven artists in Harris' Crazy Lady group show also showed personal insight into the psychological injuries of aging and the psychoneuroses that arise out of it, though the lesser work fell back on facile clichés. ❋ G. Roger Denson (2011)
Science, like any other human endeavor, is susceptible to human psychoneuroses (Pathologies?) and these can even be spread like a contagion. ❋ Unknown (2005)
The inauguration of the system of constant psychological observation had greatly reduced the probability of acute danger resulting from a watch engineer cracking up, but King was forced to admit that the system was not a success; there had actually been a marked increase in psychoneuroses, dating from that time. ❋ Heinlein, Robert A. (1967)
In this way much needed provision for the treatment of persons suffering from the psychoneuroses and minor psychoses could be furnished. ❋ Various (N/A)
Yet, there is a more problematic species: those suffering from serious psychological problems, personality disorders, clinical phobias, psychoneuroses and the like. ❋ Samuel Vaknin (N/A)
[4] Freud himself agrees psycho-pathologic acts of everyday life are the formes frustes of the psychoneuroses and that this shows that we are all slightly nervous. ❋ Unknown (1916)
One should note that Meige and Feindel were, in a way, on the threshold of this theory when they said that tic, like the other psychoneuroses, is due to some congenital anomaly, an arrest or defect in the development of cortical or subcortical association paths -- unrecognized teratological malformations. ❋ Unknown (1916)
I have frequently wondered whether those of us who oppose the dissemination of the Freudian theories, at least as they are being and have been applied to the psychoneuroses and to psychopathology in general, have solved the problem as we should have solved it or fought the fight as we should have fought it. ❋ Unknown (1916)
The reasons for my entering into a criticism of this particular article by Dr. Coriat may be stated as follows: In the first place I am interested in the general problems of psychopathology, and of the psychoneuroses in particular. ❋ Unknown (1916)
I may say that in the physical aspect of tics we have a specific somatic manifestation which, if explained, should, in a way, be the gateway toward the understanding of the many somatic symptoms which we find in the psychoneuroses and psychoses. ❋ Unknown (1916)
Dr. Coriat has permitted himself to be deluded by the Freudian sexual theories and their application to the psychoneuroses, and in this special instance to stammering. ❋ Unknown (1916)
Without discussing the exact status of this theory in the case of the psychoneuroses and their related conditions in general, we may, as mentioned previously, very conveniently use this theory in the elucidation and understanding of the further development of the tic condition. ❋ Unknown (1916)
It may be mentioned here, as is clearly appreciated from what has been said before, that there is an inter-relationship between the tics on the one hand and the symptoms which we discover in the psychoneuroses, psychoses and the mentally unstable on the other. ❋ Unknown (1916)
Although Freud and his followers have not stated, in just so many words, that the psychopathologic acts of everyday life have the same hidden mental content that the psychoneuroses have (although it is my contention that this conclusion is but a natural extension of their sexual theories concerning the psychoneuroses), yet we do find that Freud and the Freudian school in general apply their sexual theories to the whole group of the psychoneuroses. ❋ Unknown (1916)
Is it not plain that an understanding of the genesis and meaning of tics opens the gateway to the elucidation of the origin and significance of the psychoneuroses and functional psychoses -- of reaction types of various kinds? ❋ Unknown (1916)
Indeed, work along this line was unnecessary, except in a purposively corroborative way, if the theories of Freud in the case of the whole group of psychoneuroses is once seized upon and accepted as the basic truth. ❋ Unknown (1916)
