Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria (Collected Papers of Sigmund Freud)

He's wordy, difficult to read at times, and seems to think of women as hysterical children, but when Freud's theories and analysis is more deeply studied, one is able to appreciate his brilliance and insight. His work is revolutionary and remains a cornerstone of modern therapy. "Dora" is a deeply affecting case study about a sad young woman who is caught between the needs of her father, her mother, her father's lover, and the older man who covets her. The study provides valuable insight into why teenagers living in tumultuous homes develop attachment problems and risky behavior. It's definitely worth reading.

Had to read these case stories for a class. Very interesting and easy to follow. Would recommend to any adult.

Although I won’t return it as it was inexpensive, there was writing throughout the book and sticky notes sticking out throughout as well.

Amazing how such a brilliant theorist could have been so jammed up by patriarchal and bourgeois thoughts. a must read to understand the limits of analysis at that time, Poor Dora.

Awful book! It's very hard to read and understand. He doesn't make any sense. His methods are extremely outdated. Sorry

This study was for a requirement for a course I am taking. The ordering procedure went very well. This study was interesting to read, but its current application left many difficult impressions.

Good

Great book. Freud was the best at case presentation. He really knew how to walk you through his process and interpretation. He makes his cases come alive.

The seller said the condition of the book is new, yet there were pages that were folded. The front cover was a bit crushed.
