Drawing the Dream of the Wolves: Homosexuality, Interpretation, and Freud's "Wolf Man" (Theories of Representation and Difference) [Paperback]

Whitney Davis (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 22, 1996 | Series: Theories of Representation and Difference

"... a valuable scholarly addition to any student of Freud or as research material in a library." —HNet, H-CAACA

Davis argues that the visual dimension of Freud's writing is crucial to understanding its structure and significance. He offers a new and challenging reading of Freud's case study of Serge Pankejeff, the "Wolf Man." Much of the analysis revolved around Pankejeff's childhood dream of wolves and a drawing of this dream he made for Freud.
