Diagnosis of "Hysteria"

It is a unique honour to have been asked to give the first Shorvon Memorial Lecture; and I should like to give thanks to the Hospital and the School who have awarded the privilege to me, and to the family whose generous endowment has established it.At this moment I would not find it easy to embark on a formal biographical sketch of a man who was my close friend and colleague, whose death little more than three years ago left us all with a lasting regret.It is, however, proper to record essential facts.Hyam
