the train of thought in Freud's 'Case of Homosexuality in a Woman'

Nearly twenty years after the first of Freud's six celebrated case histories, 'Fragment of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria' (completed on 25 January 1901), he wrote the final one — 'The Psychogenesis of a Case of Homosexuality in a Woman'. ¹ 'The last case', notes Ernest Jones, 'resembled the first one in so far as the patient was a girl of eighteen and the analysis a short one. But this time it was Freud, more alive to the significance of resistance than twenty years earlier, who broke off the treatment.' ²
