Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

The Nancy School, named for the town of Nancy in France, refers to a group of physicians who believed that
hysteria was a form of self-hypnosis. In other words, they believed that hysteria had a psychological cause. They
came to this conclusion as it was observed that the symptoms of hysteria could be both produced and removed by
means of hypnosis. Charcot, a neurologist, had not been able to replicate the findings of the Nancy School and
argued that degenerative brain changes led to hysteria. The dispute between Charcot and the Nancy School was a
debate about what the nature of the cause of hysteria was, biological or psychological. In the end, the view of the
Nancy School was accepted. This is said to represent the first recognition of a psychologically caused mental
disorder.
