Excellent- More about Freud, Dora, and the Confusion of Tongues
Freud, Dora, and the Confusion of Tongues re-examines Freud's iconic case of Dora from the perspective of Sandor Ferenczis investigation of the sexual manipulation of children by adults, showing that Freud's interpretation was an abusive retraumatization. It argues that understanding linguistic and other representational systems of experience is essential for a contemporary analysis of Dora's case.

Responding to the growing interest in issues of gender and power as they emerge within psychoanalysis, Freud, Dora, and the Confusion of Tongues takes a fresh look at Freud's iconic case of Dora from the perspective of Sandor Ferenczi's investigation into the sexual manipulation of children by adults. Freud believed that his analysis of Dora provided compelling evidence for his Oedipal theory; his treatment was based on interpretations of her statements as evidence of an unresolved Oedipal conflict. In contrast, Ferenczi's Confusion of Tongues theory centered on the actual interactions between young people and adults who exploited their social status and power to substitute sexuality for the affection children desire. Whereas Freud situated the origin of neurosis within the psychological processes of the analysand, Ferenczi directed his attention to the real traumatic aspects of the relationships between people. Through this critical investigation, this book reveals that Freud's imposition of his interpretations on Dora, despite his sincere desire to help her, amounted to an abusive retraumatization.
Arguing that it is essential to understand linguistic and other representational systems of experience and the interrelation between the reproduction and transformation of the self in a contemporary analysis of Dora's case, this book will appeal to psychoanalysts, philosophers, and anyone interested in a new understanding of classical psychoanalysis.
