Extract

Difficulty occurs at times in the diagnostic differentiation between the manifestations of organic cerebral disease and those of hysteria, particularly in patients who suffer from symptoms which are largely subjective in nature, and which are not accompanied by physical signs. An attempt is made in this paper to discuss behaviour reactions which are characteristic of organic cerebral disease, and which, if present, exclude the possibility of the disease being “hysterical” in nature.
