From the earliest times, the menstrual period in women has been surrounded with the idea of horror and guilt, leading to strict taboos and an endless number of strange superstitions, many of which survive to the present day. - Among the writings of ancient medical men, Galen, Pliny, etc., we find references to psychological disturbances in women that were noticed to be of periodic occurrence and which were attributed to the wanderings of the uterus about the body and to the phases of the moon. But it did not seem to have been observed that the woman's menstrual cycle and the lunar cycle were of the same length, namely, twenty-eight days. - It is interesting also to observe in medieval history, the part played by the psychological disturbances in women that were attributed to the influence of witchcraft and the presence of the witch-cults. If we should investigate the characteristics of these persons, and the symptoms of their mental derangements, we find a startling similarity between these and those which make their appearance in women during the menstrual period, or those which become accentuated at such times, and especially among older women and those nearing or suffering from the transition of the menopause, when they appear in an exaggerated form as a rule. - SECTION II. THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE IN CHILDHOOD - How soon can we discern the menstrual cycle in the life of the little girl, and by what symptoms may we recognize it? - What influence does some knowledge of this phase in the life of the adult woman make itself known in the mental life of the child? How is this information usually acquired, and what are the results which most often emerge from it subsequently. - The onset of puberty and the appearance of the menstrual flow awaken former guilt and phantasies of castration and death to the child, with feelings of hostility to the mother and love to the father, normally, but occasionally this will be reversed. What influence may this have for the subsequent nervous development of the adult woman? - SECTION III. THE ADULT MENSTRUAL CYCLE - Psychological disturbances, phenomena of interrelated physical abnormalities and typical symptoms that we may find in young adult women, connected with the experience of the menstrual cycle, their relation with correlated - THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF MENSTRUATION - traumata of childhood and traces of the survival of primitive, unconscious guilt concerning the menstruum. - b. Those associated with the older woman, and those who are approaching the climacteric, or who are passing through the transition. - c. The interruptions which may be caused by these symptoms to the continuity of daily life, family, marriage or social relationships, and the general physical health of the woman. - NOTE : The material upon which this book is based has been taken from various sources, including works dealing with the history of the different themes dealt with in the course of the sections, and articles touching upon typical symptoms in psychoanalytic and other literature; information gained during psychoanalytical treatment of both children and adults, and also former experience in the general and gynecological wards of our hospitals PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION TO INSPECT ALL PHOTOSI utilize a third party EBAY supplied shipper for international sales.
