title: Behaviour modification mid-19th century style: Robert Brudenell Carter and the treatment of hysteria.
abstract: This paper describes the views on hysteria expressed by an English medical practitioner, Robert Brudenell Carter, in the mid-19th century. It is shown that these views, whilst differing in some respects, have a surprising amount in common with those of present-day behaviour modification.
