An appealing and intelligent 18-year-old girl to whom Freud gives the pseudonym "Dora" us the subject of a case history that has all of the intrigue and unexpected twists of a first-rate detective novel. Freud pursues the secrets of Dora's psyche by using clues as her nervous mannerisms, her own reports on the peculiarities of her family, and the content of her dreams. Freud's analytic talent and literary skill combine to offer exciting insights into the art of psychoanalysis.
