Abstract
In 1851/52 the Dutch physician A. Hoek treated Rika van B., a young woman suffering from a hysterical psychosis, with hypnosis. This article gives an extensive summary of the case history followed by some comments with regard to the treatment approach used, its historical background, and diagnostic issues. The case history is of historical value. It is probably the first description of the uncovering approach in hypnosis which would later be attributed to Janet, Breuer, and Freud.
