From Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts, Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan tell the wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived – and ask whether they have the rep they deserve. In the latest season, the podcast explores the legacy of Sigmund Freud. Hysterical has illustrated many of the outdated medical biases still shape women’s healthcare today – and Sigmund Freud’s ideas and theories about the mind form the basis of so much contemporary psychology.
The very beginning of Freud’s interest in the way we think was inspired by his observations of so-called ‘hysterics’ and many of his most famous case studies focus on young women. Some people say that Freud was the first to take women’s mental health seriously but others point the finger at him as the architect of the idea that women were mentally fragile and in need of ‘curing’ by men who knew better.
