Maria Torok Book order

A literary analysis of Freud's Wolf Man. This book reopens the examination of the Wolf Man, a Russian emigre who was Freud's patient and who wrote his own memoirs. It is an account of the Wolf Man's psychological inventions, a reading of his dreams and symptoms, and a critique of basic Freudian notions.

Abraham and Torok advocate a form of psychoanalysis that insists on the particularity of any individual's life story, the specificity of texts and the singularity of historical situations. The essays in this volume include four previously uncollected works by Maria Torok.
