Maria Pierri Libri

Utilizing newly discovered primary sources, this book delves into Freud's enigmatic Forsyth case, shedding light on one of his clinical experiences. It chronicles Pierri's efforts to recover the original case notes, now published for the first time, to identify the patient and contextualize the case within Freud's broader contributions to psychology.

Occultism and the Origins of Psychoanalysis traces the origins of key psychoanalytic ideas back to their roots in hypnosis and the occult. Maria Pierri follows Freud’s early interest in ‘thought-transmission’, now known as telepathy.
