Description:
Ladies and Gentlethem – Feeling a little upset? Have you tried hypnosis, psychoanalysis, smelling salts and it just doesn't work? Try The City for Incurable Women! Paris, 1880s. In a psychiatric hospital, female patients performed "hysteria" for the public. The doctors went to extraordinary lengths to prove their theories about the four stages of madness.
