This volume also contains the case history of five-year-old Little Hans's fear of horses; the Ratman's violent fears of rats gnawing into his father and lover; and the essay 'Some Character Types', in which Freud draws on the work of Shakespeare, Ibsen and Nietzsche to demonstrate different kinds of resistance to therapy. Above all, the case histories show us Freud at work, in his own words.
Offers an opportunity to see Freud in a fresh light.
