Summary:

When a disturbed young Russian man came to Freud for treatment, the analysis of his childhood neuroses -- most notably a dream about wolves outside his bedroom window -- eventually revealed a deep-seated trauma. It took more than four years to treat him, and the Wolfman became Freud's most famous case. This volume also contains the case histories of five-year-old Little Hans's fear of horses and the Ratman's violent fear of rats gnawing into his father and his lover, as well as the essay "Some Character Types," in which Freud draws on the work of Shakespeare, Ibsen, and Nietzsche to demonstrate different kinds of resistance to therapy. Above all, these case histories, in their first major new translation in more than thirty years, show us Freud at work, in his own words.
