Richard Skues finds the existing interpretation and literature on Anna O.--the leading case in Freud and Breuer's Studies in Hysteria--to be in all fundamentals wrong, representing a modern-day fiction about the origins of psychoanalysis. This book offers a new appraisal, sensitive to the historical context, with the original documents re-examined.
