| Summary: | A clinical case of Louis Vivet, described by Bourru and Burot (1888), contributed to elaborate the concepts of multiple personality and cathartic method. The authors present this clinical case, the cultural context of this mental illness, and the relevant theories. The genetic analysis of Louis Vivet's iatrogenic disorder or transient mental illness (Hacking, 2002) shows how the dominant theories on identity and memory contributed to construct the symptoms observed by Bourru and Burot (1888) and validated the therapeutic methods. |
