NOTES

1. The First Folio of 1623.

2. For example, see the discussion in Julian Young’s recent excellent biography (Young J, 2010).

3. These ideas of the supposed equipotentiality stress patterns of CNS activity rather than segregated loci of excitation, prefiguring later theories of Gestalt psychology, gradients of neural activity, and the mutual influence of neighboring parts of the brain on each other.

4. There are several accounts of this, and that of Critchley M, 1979, is quoted here.

5. Nobody who had attended the congress where Dax claimed his father had read his paper could recall a Dr. Dax.

6. The details and quotations are given in Joynt R, 1982.

7. McHenry LC, 1969, 219, 223.

8. This is the refrain and the last line of Zola’s Nana. The second French Empire collapsed and decayed (in Zola’s view), as did Nana’s body, as she became disfigured and died from smallpox. The French government had just declared war on Prussia, as the name of Bismarck is repeated in the story. The French lost.

9. In 1870 Bismarck started a war against France in a continuation of the old conflicts between the two countries. The Second Reich came into being as German unification proceeded.

10. For a very thorough discussion of the German genius, there can be no better book than Watson P, 2010; quote on 53–54.

11. Griesinger W, 1867, 1, 9, 413.

12. Hughlings Jackson had described apraxia before Liepmann in 1861, but Liepmann gave more detailed descriptions and subtypes.

13. On Auguste Forel, see Ellenberger H, 1970, 434.

14. These later became also referred to as isocortex and allocortex (the classification of Oskar Vogt [1870–1959] and Cécile Vogt [1875–1962]).

15. The Golgi method of silver staining revealed axonic nets and neurons. Nissl’s methylene blue method gave even better delineation of cell bodies.

16. Clarke E, O’Malley CD, 1968, 552.

17. See Benson DF, 1997.

18. There are debates as to whether or not Freud became addicted to cocaine. His English analyst collaborator Ernest Jones (1879–1958) estimated that Freud used the drug on and off for some 15 years. The way this may have influenced his creative thinking and his dreams is a matter of speculation.

19. Stone I, 1971, 183–184.

20. See Ellenberger H, 1970.

21. For an account of the battle between Erichsen and Page and the history of posttraumatic neurosis, see Trimble MR, 1981. Other good references are found in Micale MS, Lerner P, 2001.

22. There is much written about this, but the translation by Stengel E, 1953, as well as the excellent small book by Dewhurst K, 1982, covers the important ground. The book was not well received, and only 142 copies were sold in the first year and 115 in the following nine.

23. Freud went on to clarify his view that Charcot’s attribution of hereditary neuropathic influences to both organic disorders and the neuroses failed to understand the etiological and nosological differentiation of the neuroses. Obsessions and phobias were true neuroses, with different etiologies, and he distinguished anxiety neuroses from neurasthenia. The causes were revealed by psychological analysis, leading to his later insistence that the
