Excerpt from The Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology, Vol. 2: 1907-1908 This woman was no longer able to work, and spent her time twisting a lock of hair on the top of her head. She ended by pulling her hair all out. Her power of repte sentation was annihilated. She could no longer form a mental picture of her home, her husband or her children. When she tried to picture herself as she used to be, she was unsuccessful. Her mental vision was completely abolished. At present her pain sense is singularly dulled, and when she is pricked she says the effect upon her is as if it were being done to another person, although her tactile sense is preserved.
