by Nicolas Abraham

On This Page

Description

An innovative literary analysis of Freud's "Wolf Man." "The Wolf Man's Magic Word" reopens the examination of the "Wolf Man," a Russian emigre who was Freud's patient and who wrote his own memoirs. Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok's work is at once the account of the Wolf Man's psychological inventions, a reading of his dreams and symptoms, and a critique of basic Freudian notions.

Simultaneously intriguing and exasperating (the latter in the best of ways); I'm going to have to write a full-blown essay on this one to figure out my feelings here.
