OBSERVATIONS ON CLINICAL ASPECTS OF HYSTERIA: A QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF 50 HYSTERIA PATIENTS AND 156 CONTROL SUBJECTS
Abstract
Hysteria ([unk]στέρα) has been noted by physicians since antiquity,1but no consistent clinical picture to accompany this term has clearly emerged from the medical literature. The study reported here was undertaken for the further investigation of clinical observations that suggested that hysteria as seen in hospitals in New England presents a rather definite clinical picture. The study was undertaken for the determination, first, whether the clinical impression of the relatively constant pattern of hysteria was a true impression; secondly, to provide factual data that might be useful to the clinician in the diagnosis of hysteria, and thirdly, to provide a sound clinical basis for further research in hysteria. SELECTION OF PATIENTS WITH HYSTERIA The patients selected for this study were 50 women with hysteria examined in a diagnostic hospital in New England. All patients admitted to the hospital were referred by their own physicians as presenting diagnostic problems for

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
