Josef Breuer’s patient Fräulein Anna O (later identified as Bertha van Pappenheim), whose case is analysed in the book Breuer co-authored with Freud, Sigmund, Studien über Hysterie (1895), translated as Studies on Hysteria (1955), famously described her treatment this way because her therapy consisted largely of talking about herself and her childhood, usually under hypnosis. It has become a standard code word for psychoanalysis.
