After Charcot's death, most neurologist belittled and rejected his theories on hysteria. Of interest was that his late writings claimed that faith healing could be real, and he had directed patients to Lourdes. Hustvedt thinks that Charcot was right in treating hysteria as real, and in an epilogue discusses modern hysterias, including Gulf War syndrome. Altogether, a very interesting book, well-written, and professionally, to a neurologist, enhancing. ( )
