What it’s about. In 1900, Sigmund Freud began treating a 17-year old girl he called "Dora." Her parents brought her to therapy after she accused a family friend of sexual assault. Freud's account of his sessions with Dora was the only major case history he published of a female patient. Intercutting his published text with a scripted version told from Dora's point of view, Hysterical Girl revisits this landmark case. Woven throughout are several decades of cinema, Congressional hearings, and media coverage. What emerges is a portrait of the grip that Freud’s theory of hysteria has had on popular culture over the past century and into the present day.

Who’s in it. Hysterical Girl stars Sigmund Freud as Himself, Tommy Vines as Dora and Brian Kelly as Sigmund Freud.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, Hysterical Girl has been warmly received by audiences.
