The "Wolfman" and Other Cases

The analysis of a disturbed young Russian man's childhood neuroses, particularly a haunting dream about wolves, uncovers profound trauma over four years, making this case one of Freud's most renowned. Alongside this case, the book includes histories of a boy's equine phobia and the Ratman's intense fear of rats. Additionally, Freud's essay "Some Character Types" explores various therapeutic resistances, incorporating insights from Shakespeare, Ibsen, and Nietzsche. These narratives provide a unique glimpse into Freud's therapeutic techniques and thought processes.
