22 case histories (15 by KE) with various diagnoses (i.a. neurasthenia, hysteria, epilepsy, moral insanity), with pertaining correspondence.  Of these are 6 in a small compilation: "Stupidität + trauma capitis".  Two of the case histories are very detailed.  One contains correspondence of the female patient with KE, giving detailed descriptions of her activities and feelings (1889-1990).  Includes two offprints:  H. Dagonet, "En matière d'aliénation mentale"; Ch. Vibert, "Observations de mensonges ou prétendus mensonges des hystériques".
