VIEW Edited volume - ebook - PDFFreud’s Dora case and contemporary debates on gender,
sexuality and queer theory
‘Dora’ is one the most important and interesting case studies Sigmund Freud conducted
and later described. It constitutes a key text in his oeuvre and finds itself at
the crossroads of his studies in hysteria, the theory of sexuality and dream
interpretation. The Dora case is both a literary and theoretically
ground-breaking text and an account of a ‘failed’ treatment. In Dora, Hysteria and Gender renowned Freud
scholars reflect on the Dora case, presenting various innovative and controversial
perspectives and elaborating the
significance of the text for contemporary debates on gender, sexuality and
queer theory.
This volume is of
interest for psychoanalysts and scholars working on psychoanalysis, sexuality,
gender, queer theory, philosophical anthropology and literary studies.
