Special symbols in early female oedipal development: fantasies of folds and spaces, protuberances and concavities.

The authors present three examples, from the observation of pre-latency girls, of the use of anatomic regions for symbolic purposes. In the two cases, the first interdigital fold became the locus for castration anxiety; and in the other, the laryngeal prominence and jugular notch served as the focus for symbolic displacement of psychosexual concerns. The employment of these particular symbols, to the best of the authors' knowledge, has not been reported previously in the literature. The authors conclude by calling for further investigation into the relationship between the processes involved in such symbol-formation and those that occur in neurosogenesis.

[Prostitution wishes and rescue fantasies--flight from the father. Sketches from the life of a woman ("Anna O."--"P. Berthold"--Bertha Pappenheim)].

Bertha Pappenheim, Breuer's famous patient "Anna O.," was a socially engaged, successful, Jewish women's rights advocate. The details of her biography presented here are not as well known--especially the subsequent course of her illness and treatment and her struggle against prostitution and the white slave trade, the latter carried on with special fascination. All of these show that "Anna O." left Breuer's treatment far from cured and that Bertha was entangled in a lifelong daughter-father conflict.
