The authors take a revolutionary look at the most famous of Sigmund Freud's cases and make significant connections between Dora and therapeutic relationships in the 1990s. In their careful examination of the case history, Lakoff and Coyne demonstrate that while much of Freud's method has changed, the basic relationship between therapist and client, their power relations, and the consequences thereof, remain intrinsically unaltered. The authors raise difficult and important questions about the nature of gender differences and the roles men and women play, the use and misuse of science, and the relation of content to form and context. Ultimately, the book aims to challenge the very basis of psychoanalysis itself. It also hopes to serve as a truly feminist critique and as an eloquent argument for those therapeutic methods that hold most promise for women.
