title: [Babinski and hysteria].
abstract: Babinski made important contributions to both psychiatry and neurology. He disagreed with Charcot's theatrical interpretation of hysteria and made a subtle distinction between Suggestion and Persuasion, thereby differentiating Hysteria from Pithiatism. This paper examines Charcot's concepts and the way in which Babinski refined and honed his master's theories.
