In 1878 Henri Legrand du Saulle, a famous 19th-century French psychiatrist, wrote "Clinical study of the fear of spaces (the Germans' agoraphobia) - emotional neurosis." This text is a comprehensive critical summary of all work on existing psychiatric agoraphobia at the time, and an excellent compilation of clinical studies. Above all it offers us the foundations for psychopathology, which was further developed by psychiatrists and psychoanalysts.
