“When I first heard of Oliver and Andrew’s plan to explore this complex Viennese-Tyrolean story, I was sure that they would bring a new view on those rather bourgeois Merano rich family spa episodes from a different century in a different world. I loved reading about it. Thank you for sharing!”Nikolaus Hofinger, Archivist and Curator, Stadtarchiv/Stadtmuseum Innsbruck, Austria“A fascinating glimpse into the world of one of Freud's most famous patients, Ida Bauer ("Dora"). Ida endured a lifetime of unpleasant physical symptoms as well as a dysfunctional family. While still in her teens, she bruised Freud's ego by resisting his psychoanalytic explanations. The book brings alive a world in which the threat of serious diseases - especially tuberculosis and syphilis - was never far away, but where women’s physical complaints were all too often explained as hysteria.”Dorothy Bishop, Emeritus Professor of Developmental Neuropsychology, University of Oxford.“Beginning in the Vienna where Sigmund Freud practiced, and highlighting the intertwined family networks and connections among those wealthy enough to enter his treatment rooms, the authors take us on a journey from 19th century Austria through two world wars to the deaths of Ida and her friend Pepina. It does not shy away from the terrible persecution of Jewish people whilst filling gaps in this enthralling story. A must-read for any serious historian of psychoanalysis.”Maggie Snowling CBE, FBA, FMed Sci., Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Oxford“A wonderful, extremely well-researched account of the lives of the real ‘Dora’ and ‘Frau K’ during Vienna's Golden Age and beyond that gives the lie to Freud’s highly reductive and often petty case history.”Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen, author of Freud’s Patients. A Book of Lives.“This superbly researched book describes the lives of Ida Bauer (Freud’s ‘Dora’) and Pepina Zellenka (‘Frau K’), their relations and acquaintances - from the end of the 19th century and Ida’s therapy with Freud, to two world wars, the holocaust, and beyond. While some conclusions will be controversial, this is a very lucid and immensely readable book, setting the famed case in context, and covering aspects of history, psychoanalysis, medicine and ethics, in a fascinating and scholarly ‘tour de force'.”Michael Kopelman, Emeritus Professor of Neuropsychiatry, King’s College London“Ida and Pepina sheds light on two central figures of Freud's Dora case, whose lives encompassed far more than their roles as mere subjects of a case study. Ellis and Raitmayr trace the biographical paths of two women shaped by patriarchy, antisemitism and persecution — yet also by their fierce determination to endure every hardship. It is a noteworthy achievement that the final years of Pepina Zellenka have been researched and documented in this volume for the very first time.”Katharina Adler, author of Ida and great granddaughter of Ida Bauer Adler.“In crisp, economic style, the authors provide a compelling read that places two women, Ida Bauer (Freud’s ‘Dora’) and Pepina Zellenka, at its centre. Offering a richer account of two lives than any case history, the book ranges from the intimate details of personal life to the complexities of social, economic and political change. This is a persuasive, meticulously researched, and compassionate history that will be of interest to many, not just Freud scholars.”Alan Collins, former Chair of the British Psychological Society History and Philosophy of Psychology Section.
