The 'Wolfman' and Other Cases
Author(s): Sigmund Freud
The new "Penguin Freud", under Adam Phillips' general editorship, offers a fantastic opportunity to see Freud in a fresh light. This endlessly beguiling, suggestive, thought-provoking writer can be appreciated nowhere more vividly than in "The Case Histories": "Little Hans", "The Rat Man", "The Wolf Man" and "Some Character Types Met within Psychoanalytic Work".
