| 24 | Author: | Prince, Morton, editor | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Journal of Abnormal Psychology | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | THE progress in our understanding of hysteria has come largely
through the elaboration of the so-called mechanisms by which the
symptoms arise. These mechanisms have been declared to reside or to
have their origin in the subconsciousness or coconsciousness. The
mechanisms range all the way from the conception of Janet that the
personality is disintegrated owing to lowering of the psychical tension
to that of Freud, who conceives all hysterical symptoms as a result of
dissociation arising through conflicts between repressed sexual desires
and experiences and the various censors organized by the social life.
Without in any way intending to set up any other general mechanism or to
enter into the controversy raging concerning the Freudian mechanism,
which at present is the storm center, the writer reports a case in which
the origin of the symptoms can be traced to a more simple and fairly
familiar mechanism, one which, in its essence, is merely an
intensification of a normal reaction of many women to marital
difficulties. In other words, women frequently resort to measures which
bring about an acute discomfort upon the part of their mate, through his
pity, compassion and self-accusation. They resort to tears as their
proverbial weapon for gaining their point. In this case the hysterical
symptoms seem to have been the substitute for tears in a domestic
battle. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 28 | Author: | Andreyev, Leonid | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Lazarus | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | WHEN Lazarus left the grave, where, for three days and
three nights he had been under the enigmatical sway
of death, and returned alive to his dwelling, for a long time no
one noticed in him those sinister oddities, which, as time went
on, made his very name a terror. Gladdened unspeakably by the
sight of him who had been returned to life, those near to him
carressed him unceasingly, and satiated their burning desire
to serve him, in solicitude for his food and drink and garments.
And they dressed him gorgeously, in bright colors of hope and
laughter, and when, like to a bridegroom in his bridal vestures,
he sat again among them at the table, and again ate and drank,
they wept, overwhelmed with tenderness. And they summoned
the neighbors to look at him who had risen miraculously from
the dead. These came and shared the serene joy of the hosts.
Strangers from far-off towns and hamlets came and adored the
miracle in tempestuous words. Like to a beehive was the house
of Mary and Martha. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

men would soon 'hottentot,' as Miss Edgeworth has it, if left to themselves, why is it that
women's heroes are almost invariably prigs or cads of the first water?" And the reviewer adds:
"We thought we had reached the limit in Daniel Deronda, but even he shows up well beside Mrs.
Wharton's insufferable Selden: and now here is Barry Carleton filling us with a vulgar but lively
desire to 'punch his head for him.'" | | | Similar Items: | Find |

MEN who do great things are men we all like to read about. This is the
story of Christopher Columbus, the man who discovered America. He lived
four hundred years ago. When he was a little boy he lived in Genoa. It
was a beautiful city in the northwestern part of the country called
Italy. The mountains were behind it; the sea was in front of it, and it
was so beautiful a place that the people who lived there called it
"Genoa the Superb." Christopher Columbus was born in this beautiful
city of Genoa in the year 1446, at number 27 Ponticello Street. He was a
bright little fellow with a fresh-looking face, a clear eye and golden
hair. His father's name was Domenico Columbus; his mother's name was
Susanna. His father was a wool-comber. He cleaned and straightened out
the
snarled-up wool that was cut from the sheep so as to make it
ready to be woven into cloth. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
