| Popis: | In his article in Psychoanalysis and History (2(2), 2000) Philip Kuhn proposes that, contrary to Freud's claims, his dream of Irma's injection occurred on 21 September 1895, and that it was not fully analysed until August 1899. He further asserts that this dream was used by Freud as a substitute for the dream that he felt compelled by Fliess to drop from the first draft of his book. The author finds no evidence to support Kuhn's claims but, on the contrary, demonstrates the insubstantial nature of the supporting argument and the imagined character of his ‘evidence’. The true chronology of Freud's writing of his dream book is mapped out, along with the effects of the deletion of his ‘big’ dream. It is argued that the publication of Kuhn's paper poses serious questions to academic journals dealing with the history of psychoanalysis about their policy on the standards of their published papers. |
