The Wolf Man Case Study of Sigmund Frued: Reaction Paper

From the History of an Infantile Neurosis, the contextual investigation of Sergei

Konstantinovitch Pankejeff, "the Wolf Man", is a record of a total examination from first

conclusion to fix and was planned by its creator to show the legitimacy of psychoanalytic

hypothesis and the accomplishment of its strategy. The Wolf Man was a well off Russian blue-

blood, twenty-three years of age when he previously showed up at Freud's counseling rooms in

1910. He portrays to Freud an adolescence plagued by bad dreams and phobic responses in

which wolves show up as the predominant picture. From his eighteenth year, when he had been

put on an especially forceful treatment for gonorrhea, his life had gotten unmanageable, and from

that point on he is hounded by a versatile symptomatology that incorporates incessant

obstruction and over the top reasoning. Having just traversed Europe looking for a fix, the Wolf

Man is at long last treated by Freud from February 1910 to July 1914 and on a subsequent event

to manage "a bit of transference which had not up to this point been survived" (Freud 1918,

p.122) from November 1919 until February 1920. Ascribing his enduring to a "butt-centric

obsession", psychoanalytic mediation, as indicated by Freud, reduced a great part of the Wolf

Man's anguish and on its decision his patient "felt typical a carried on unexceptionally". In spite

of this affirmation, the way that the Wolf Man required further investigation by Freud's student

Ruth Mack Brunswick and uncovers in his diaries that he depended on standard systematic

meetings into at any rate his eighty-second year, vouches for another less liberal perspective on
his treatment. Therapy, it shows up, would never totally evacuate the Wolf Man's

symptomatology.

In spite of being overwhelmingly drawn together, the Wolf Man's investigation with

Freud is portrayed by opposition and misrecognition. As a critical book throughout the entire

existence of analysis its irresolution has been a wellspring of disquiet for Freud and his

adherents. It has therefore gotten a locus of significant basic work, with psychoanalytic

reevaluations on one side attempting to fix or deny the tricky investigation, and increasingly

aggressive pundits on the other utilizing it as a concentration to assault the Freudian model.1

Perhaps the most intriguing and significant of ongoing reactions to the case is Nicolas Abraham

and Maria Torok's The Wolf Man's Magic Word. Contemplating the immense collection of

writing that has developed around the Wolf Man, Abraham and Torok don't consider his to be to

Freudian treatment as essentially a disappointment of psychoanalytic strategy, yet rather they

change his hesitance into the very pith of his being.

Freud's examination of the Wolf Man was famously dangerous, with this most celebrated

patient opposing psychoanalytic translation and requiring consideration from its specialists for

the term of his long life. The contextual investigation, distributed in 1918, brings into its circle

the stories of a masochist character and a withering class of Russian nobility, alongside key

hypothetical affirmations and political posing (in regards to the dissention of previous partners)

with respect to Freud. What the creator situates in Freud's content and the Wolf Man's later

diaries and meetings is an exclusionary mentality, in both hypothesis and individual reflections,

to the exceptionally emotional powers of world history that were to considerably affect the lives

of examiner and analysand. Utilizing the related ideas of joining and the sepulcher created in
Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok's content The Wolf Man's Magic Word, the creator remakes

this rejection as both generative and problematic of the Wolf Man's commitment with, reliance

on and protection from therapy. Recognizing a trading off and hushed dynamic with respect to

the Russian Revolution followed into the Wolf Man's divided and dubious character, the creator

utilizes proof of a hopeless subject situation to advise a progressively mysterious comprehension

regarding the frequently peculiar mentalities, conduct and language showed by Freud's patient.

More than giving a response to the Wolf Man's pathology, this proposes rather a reconsidering of

the case as a tricky, puzzling and beautiful work of emblematic intervention to which a

comparatively open and numerous understanding is the main fitting interpretative reaction.
