The Talking Cure and chimney sweeping were terms Bertha Pappenheim,[1] known in case studies by the alias Anna O., used for the verbal therapy given to her by Josef Breuer. They were first published in Studies on Hysteria (1895).
As Ernest Jones put it, "On one occasion she related the details of the first appearance of a particular symptom and, to Breuer's great astonishment, this resulted in its complete disappearance,"[2] or in Lacan's words, "the more Anna provided signifiers, the more she chattered on, the better it went".[3]
