 Jean Martin Charcot and Blanche Wittmann
Charcot developed clinical demonstrations of his theories at the Salpetriere in the form of public performances, with himself as the lecturer and trained patients as the models.
The method that Charcot devised for relieving the symptoms of hysteria was not hypnosis, but pressing on zones of the patient's body that he identified as "hysterogenic zones".
Blanche Wittmann, and other patients, would demonstrate the clinical patterns at Charcot's public performances.

 Jean-Martin Charcot (www.whonamedit.com)
Charcot's experiments in hypnosis and his clinical demonstrations were open to the lay public, attracting the famous, the fashionable, and the aristocratic.
Indeed, Charcot must be considered as one of the first to demonstrate the clear and fruitful relationship between psychology and physiology.
In 1885 one of his students was Sigmund Freud, and it was Charcot's employment of hypnosis in an attempt to discover an organic basis for hysteria that stimulated Freud's interest in the psychological origins of neurosis.

 The Individual: Therapy and Theory -- Sigmund Freud: Conflict & Culture (Library of Congress Exhibition)
When Freud returned to Vienna, he began using hypnosis, massage, and pressure on the head to get patients to dredge up thoughts related to their symptoms.
This practice was suspect, however, since patients tended to perform for the camera and doctors to record the most photogenic.
This section -- divided into six parts -- introduces us to some of Freud's most famous patients and the key concepts with which he tried to make sense of their symptoms and their lives.

 Human Intelligence: Jean-Martin Charcot
Although modern science acknowledges that both his methods and his conclusions were flawed, he is still recognized as a pioneer in the effort to link physiological and mental processes.
21st century psychologists are primarily interested in Charcot's research into the causes of Hysteria.
Many contemporary physicians accused the hysterical patients of malingering and fraud, but Charcot was convinced that the patients believed that their symptoms were real, and that the physical symptoms were indicative of a genuine psychological problem.

He did research to determine the parts of the brain responsible for specific nerve functions and discovered the importance of small arteries in cerebral hemorrhage.
His focus turned to neurology, and he is called by some the founder of modern neurology.
To study the hysterics under his care, he learned the technique of hypnosis and soon became a master of the relatively new "science." Charcot believed that a hypnotized state was very similar to a bout of hysteria, and so he hypnotized his patients in order to induce and study their symptoms.

While in this condition, the patient can sometimes recall events in his life which are not recalled in the waking state, and he is susceptible to the suggestions of the therapist.
Finally, Charcot made popular the use of hypnosis as a part of diagnosis and therapy.
Charcot's second area of contribution was the correlation of various behavioral symptoms with physiological abnormalities of the nervous system.

 MS Ireland - Historical Perspective on Multiple Sclerosis - Jean-Martin Charcot
Without doubt, Charcot was one of the most important characters in the history of MS, his findings representing a huge breakthrough for the clinical understanding of the disease.
Charcot's contribution extended to the development of diagnostic criteria, which included the now famous Charcot's triad, diplopia (double vision), ataxia (disturbances of balance or co-ordination) and dysarthria (difficulties with, or slurred speech) which he observed in his own housekeeper.
For the first time, almost forty years after the discovery of the lesions, the clinical condition was described by Charcot as 'sclr¾rose en plaques' and MS as recognised as a distinct disease entity (10).

 Dr. Jean Martin Charcot (1825-1893) The Father Of Multiple Sclerosis
His most important scientific contribution in the study of hysteria was his identification of the disorder in men.
Charcot worked extensively with hysteria and female patients, although he energetically rejected the idea that the disorder was restricted to women.
Several lines of evidence demonstrate that Charcot, although highly authoritarian and patronizing toward patients and colleagues in general, fostered the concepts of advancing women in the medical profession and eliminating former gender biases in neurologic disorders.

A cette période de sa vie, CHARCOT fut attiré par la philosophie, la psychologie, et l'étude des mécanismes des fonctions cérébrales.
CHARCOT répondait toujours à nos objections avec affabilité et patience, mais aussi avec beaucoup de décision ; dans l'une de ces discussions, il laissa tomber ces mots: "Ca n'empêche pas d'exister", paroles qui devaient s'imprimer en moi de façon inoubliable.
CHARCOT était essentiellement neurologue, il n'était pas psychiatre; en tant que neurologue, il s'occupait de la physiologie de l'hypnotisé, de ses mouvements, de ses réflexes et il passait complètement à côté des phénomènes psychologiques.
