The case of Anna O.: a reformulation
MH Hollender
The best known of all psychotherapy patients. Anna O., entered treatment
with Josef Breuer in December 1880. Modern psychotherapy begins with that
encounter. Information gathered in the intervening years places us in a
favorable position to review and reformulate the case. To do so may have
practical and theoretical, as well as historical, importance.
