A Case Of Hysteria by Sigmund Freud

An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria

A seminal psychoanalytic case study of a young woman known as Dora, whose cough, loss of voice, and anxiety are examined through dream interpretation and the web of relationships linking her family to a family friend. The analysis probes repressed desires, sexual trauma, and social expectations as sources of conversion symptoms, and underscores the decisive role of transference—ultimately contributing to the treatment’s abrupt end.
