An epistemic overview of the papers published in the American Journal of Psychiatry (AJP) is here presented. The AJP is an organ of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), an institution that groups most of the American psychiatrists and that is also the creator of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). In these papers, when considering hysteria, the appeal to Freudian concepts concerning the hysterical symptom can be observed. The review begins in 1890 and ends in 1980, when the publication of DSM-III evacuates every aetiological theory about the hysterical condition, refusing the psychoanalytic theory of hysteria, getting throughout such manual a fragmentation of the phenomenon in multiple disorders that occur in the absence of organic injury. Some implications for psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and the "hysterical" patient are observed. This article is the result of the research titled Epistemological Overview of Freud's Theory of Hysteria in American Psychiatry. It belongs to the studies of the Master's Degree in Psychoanalytic Research at the University of Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia).
