Bertha Pappenheim was born. Famously known as" Anna O " the first patient of psychoanalysis, Bertha Pappenheim was treated for " hysteria " by Sigmund Freud's mentor Josef Breuer. Although Freud never treated " Anna O " himself, he was greatly influenced by her case and regularly referred to " Anna O's. " talking cure as a "great therapeutic success;" most notably in the first of five landmark lectures he delivered during his one and only speaking engagement in the United States at Clark University in 1909.
