O Anna: being Bertha Pappenheim--historiography and biography.

by Robert Kaplan
Australasian psychiatry bulletin of Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists ()

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To review the famous case of Anna O. (the index case of psychoanalysis) as seen by each generation, in the light of current knowledge and thinking. CONCLUSIONS: The case was neither a catharsis nor a cure as described. Historical research has revealed a significantly different outcome, shedding new light on the motives of the chief protagonists, Breuer and Freud. No less interesting but greatly neglected is the life of Bertha Pappenheim, the real identity of Anna O.
