The author, Eloísa Castellano-Maury, moves away from the therapist's perspective to place herself in the mind of Ida Bauer, the real patient behind the pseudonym. Through an exercise in historical empathy, the work reconstructs the thoughts, anxieties, and frustrations that Dora may have experienced during her three months of analysis in 1900s Vienna. The reader will discover not only the mechanisms of hysteria and transference, but also the silenced voice of a young woman caught between her illness and the birth of psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1900, in Vienna, Ida Bauer, an eighteen-year-old suffering from asthma and various nervous disorders, is taken by her father to an emerging doctor: Sigmund Freud. Without yet knowing the meaning of the word \"psychoanalysis,\" Ida undergoes the treatment that will make her the famous Dora case. Her clinical history would spark countless debates in scientific literature, allowing Freud and other scholars to delve into the enigmas of hysteria. Without her, the notion of transference would not have been developed as it is known today. However, this book asks: before being a case, what was Ida Bauer thinking? What did she tell herself upon leaving Freud's couch each day? The author puts herself in the patient's place, giving her a voice \"beyond the couch,\" listening to her complaints, her struggle, and her anxieties. She accompanies Dora through her three months of analysis, imagining her most intimate fantasies and sharing the rage she could not express.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRevision of the Dora clinical case from the patient's perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of hysteria and its psychological mechanisms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of transference in the psychoanalytic process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of Sigmund Freud and the context of 1900s Vienna.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical empathy and reconstruction of a patient's subjective experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals in psychology, psychoanalysis, and psychiatry interested in a critical reading of Freudian cases.
