Beginning with Lacan\u2019s theory of neurosis, the importance of language, and symbolic functions, we will begin to understand why the hysterical symptom is the symptomatic structure par excellence. Lacan lauds hysteria as the neurosis in direct dialogue with a given historical moment, teaching the psychoanalyst where we are in the unfolding struggle between neurosis and civilization. He returned to the case of Dora throughout his twenty-eight years of teaching to refine his work. He even saw psychoanalysis as the progressive \u201chystericization\u201d of the patient and depicted himself as an hysteric walking around on a stage, not knowing what he was saying, while attempting to teach the psychoanalysts. Lacan\u2019s reading of Dora seems to mark important shifts in his own life, from his beginning to write as a psychoanalyst, to being thrown out of the IPA, to struggling with his own school and the ensuing political eruptions in France in 1968. By tracking his elaboration of Dora we can witness the evolution of Lacan\u2019s work and how he uniquely positions the analyst in the transference.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00030651231209737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,23]],"date-time":"2023-12-23T08:00:40Z","timestamp":1703318440000},"page":"907-931","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Most Hysterical Psychoanalyst"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Jamieson","family":"Webster","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00030651231209737","volume-title":"Freud\u2019s Women","author":"Appignanesi L.","year":"2001"},{"key":"bibr2-00030651231209737","unstructured":"Braunstein N.
