Dora s'en va
Work detail
Dora s'en va. Violence dans la psychanalyse is a scholarly work by Patrick J. Mahony that revisits Sigmund Freud's famous case study of Dora through the lens of contemporary psychoanalytic theory. The book examines how themes of aggression, power, and trauma surface in the analytic relationship, offering a critical reassessment of Freud's original interpretation. Mahony draws on his experience as a literature professor and training analyst to explore the interplay between narrative, desire, and violence in the therapeutic setting. By situating Dora's story within broader cultural and clinical discourses, the text invites readers to reconsider the implications of psychoanalytic practice for understanding psychic conflict. The study is intended for academics, clinicians, and anyone interested in the evolution of psychoanalytic thought and its relevance to modern discussions of subjectivity and harm.
