Three Case Histories by Sigmund Freud
Contributed by: Knott
  • 1. Three Case Histories by Sigmund Freud is a seminal work that showcases the pioneering psychoanalytic techniques developed by Freud in the early 20th century. This collection presents the detailed case studies of three individuals: Dora, the 'Wolfman', and a young boy known as 'Little Hans', each illustrating unique aspects of human psychology and the intricacies of the unconscious mind. In analyzing Dora's hysteria, Freud delves into themes of repression and sexual desire, highlighting how unresolved conflicts manifest as psychological symptoms. The case of the 'Wolfman' explores childhood traumas and their lasting impacts on adult behavior, particularly focusing on the significance of dreams in understanding repressed emotions. Meanwhile, Little Hans's phobia of horses serves as a case study in the development of fear and anxiety in children, illustrating Freud's theories on the Oedipus complex and the formative experiences that shape one's psyche. Together, these case histories not only provide insights into the therapeutic process but also lay the groundwork for much of modern psychology, demonstrating Freud's innovative approach to understanding the complexities of human behavior through the lens of deep psychological analysis.
