Royal Free Epidemic of 1955 - was it really hysteria? (3237 words) |
| The mass hysteria hypothesis of the Royal Free Hospital epidemic, which was widely accepted, is mainly based on the work of two psychiatrists, McEvedy and Beard, who reassessed the available information on the outbreak and concluded that it could be regarded as an instance of epidemic hysteria (McEvedy and Beard, 1970a, 1970b, 1973). |
| Like the outbreak at the Royal Free Hospital, this epidemic followed a number of cases in the general population living in the vicinity, and the reason for the increased virulence of the infecting organism was probably the semi-isolated nature of the hospital community and the close physical contact between the members of staff. |
| McEvedy, C.P. and Beard, A.W. (1970a) Royal Free epidemic of 1955: a reconsideration. |
