You know the idea that patterns of mental problems change over time in accord with the structure of society? Maybe hysteria demanded a stable duty driven rigid culture. All those teenagers hung by all sides for cowardice in WW1 are a background to the conversion reactions that other soldiers experienced. Maybe you can't have hysteria in a shameless narcissistic culture?
