Davis argues that the visual dimension of Freud's writing is crucial to understanding its structure and significance. He offers a new and challenging reading of Freud's case study of Serge Pankejeff, the Wolf Man. Much of the analysis revolved around Pankejeff's childhood dream of wolves and a drawing of this dream he made for Freud.

An original critical reading of Freud's most famous case historythe Wolf Man .
