“This marvellous collection of essays sheds new light on Freud's classic case histories, offering new interpretations and perspectives and bringing out the richness and depth of Freud's work. The commentaries are not only important in rereading Freud but will be inspiring for practitioners working today, facing many of the same questions and problems in their clinical work - Darian Leader, psychoanalyst and author, London, UK “These careful readings unpack what it takes to make a great case for psychoanalysis, while insisting on the singularity of each subject who appeared on the scene at the dawn of the talking cure” - Ian Parker, psychoanalyst, Manchester, UK. “Freud’s Six Principal Case Studies Revisited offers a fresh re-examination of Freud's iconic cases through a contemporary psychoanalytic lens, demonstrating how his insights remain crucial today and showing how these continue to inspire, offering a dynamic, evolving framework that keeps psychoanalytic practice alive and responsive in the 21st century.” - Dries G. M. Dulsster, educational supervisor, psychoanalyst and author, Ghent University, Belgium "With these thought-provoking case commentaries by leading figures in psychoanalysis, rereading Freud’s principal case studies has never felt so timely or engaging! Instead of simply reinforcing what we thought we already knew about Freud’s classic cases, these essays invite us to consider crucial issues in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice." - Stephanie Swales, Psychoanalyst & Assistant Professor of Psychotherapy, Dublin City University, Ireland “Seldom do we have the opportunity to see historical case material rendered as relevant - as urgent - as we find in this luminous collection. Not only is Freud shown to be our contemporary, but these re-readings, with Lacanian conceptualisations, are how Freud’s cases will be taught and understood in the future. A dream-team of contributors and a vital addition to key texts on the Freudian practice of psychoanalysis.” - Derek Hook, Professor of Psychology, Duquesne University, author of Six Moments in Lacan
