Humbug Interpretations Admired During a Century

([Fr:] means that the “fact” is solely Freud’s interpretation. * means that Freud’s indisputably false fact has been corrected. ) Whoever wants to learn about Freud should not start with his theoretical works but with his case-studies, foremost Dora who at 17-18 was his patient. When she was 13* she was kissed by K., a family friend thrice her age, while she struggled to make herself free. [Fr:] Only a psychic ill girl would not welcome such a kiss; and the kiss actually made Dora fall in love with K.; but she feared that her sex organ would be repulsive because she had masturbated at 8. When she was 15* K. tried to seduce her. [Fr.] No girl who was not ill would have told her parents about a seduction attempt. As Dora did indeed. K. and her father contemptuously agreed that Dora was a high-strung teenager who had only imagined the attempt. For three years she had to face this contemptuous family atmosphere and reacted with depression and hostility. Nothing made her as outrageous as the claim that the seduction attempt was a fantasy. She was forced in treatment by Freud, who should teach her that she had imagined the seduction attempt. But he actually accepted her version. Nevertheless he was obstinate that Dora was in love with K. Freud saw no counter evidence in his three year long contemptuous behaviour but claimed that K. was also in love with Dora and planned to divorce and marry her, and Dora wanted the same thing. If he told the truth Dora did not in the least request her father to break his close friendship with K., but instead with Mrs. K., his mistress, who had done Dora nothing bad. He also wants us to believe that he met her for the first time a week before the seduction attempt, and that she already then suffered from depression and hostility (which actually ensued as the result of the joint denial by K. and her father). There are hardly any information or free associations by Dora, but a lot of Freud’s own free associations which in turn are interpreted. Many untruths can be proved to be intentional. Dora had no hysteria. All her somatic symptoms had a neurological aetiology. During a century this case was highly admired by psychoanalysts.
