diagnosis
Jiang says early Freud found that many young women's depression, anxiety, and relational symptoms traced to childhood sexual abuse, often by fathers or trusted adults.
diagnosis
Jiang says later Freud reframed female hysteria as attention-seeking and control, turning psychology into gaslighting rather than patient advocacy.
diagnosis
Freud's early patients are described as traumatized women whose symptoms followed abuse, and early Freud initially believed and advocated for them.
diagnosis
Early Freud is presented as arguing that hysteria was rooted in real childhood sexual trauma, often involving respected families and trusted relatives.
diagnosis
Jiang argues that later Freud explains hysteria as women wanting attention, a move that shifts blame away from abusers and toward female patients.
