Freud’s Principal Case Studies Revisited explores Freud’s six principal case studies – Dora, Little Hans, Schreber, the Wolf Man, the Rat Man and the Young Homosexual Girl – through the lens of contemporary psychoanalytic practice.Thirteen leading Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalysts reassess these cases in light of their significance to psychoanalytic theory and practice and consider their relevance in the twenty-first century. With new case material, theory, and analysis, the cases are critically re-invigorated and restored to a privileged place within psychoanalysis. Each of the cases is approached via a pairing of two psychoanalysts who engage with the clinical material, as well as with each other, in addressing their contributions to an assembled audience of clinicians, trainees and scholars.This book will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training as well as psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatrists. It will also be relevant for academics and students of psychoanalytic studies, philosophy, critical and cultural theory, social studies, critical psychology, gender and sexuality studies and queer theory.
