She suffered from [[hysterical paralysis]], where one of her arms was paralyzed even though there was [[nothing]] medically or physically wrong with it. After study, it was discovered this was the arm she had cradled her dying [[father]] with. It was theorised that she was [[unconsciously]] stopping the use of the arm as [[punishment]] because she blamed herself for her father's [[death]].
Through [[analysis]] with [[Breuer]], it was discovered that by talking [[about]] what had happened when the [[symptoms]] started, she would recover a [[repressed]] fact and then recover a bit. This is what Pappenheim called her "talking [[cure]]". Breuer called [[The Act|the act ]] of recovery through this method [[catharsis]]. This [[case]] was the beginning of [[psychoanalysis]], which would be later heavily developed by [[Freud]].
