What can we learn from Studies on Hysteria in our work today in Ireland? How can we think about trauma and hysteria? Can trauma cross over generations? Part One of this seminar included a presentation of a clinical case concerning a woman who was born in an Irish orphanage and continued with a discussion on the themes of trauma, transgenerational trauma, hysteria, and symptoms.
