Case of Anna O
NO PLAGIARISM!!!!!!
One of the very first cases that caught Freuds attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was cured by Breuer.
