Common card · No. 316545

Dora is the pseudonym given by Sigmund Freud to a patient whom he diagnosed with hysteria, whom treated for about eleven weeks in 1900. Her most manifest hysterical symptom was aphonia, or loss of voice. Dora's real name was Ida Bauer (1882–1945); her brother Otto Bauer was a leading member of the Austro-Marxist movement. Freud published a case study about Dora, Fragments of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria (1905 [1901], Standard Edition Vol. 7, pp. 1–122; German: Bruchstücke einer Hysterie-Analyse).
