DORA, FEMALE AT ADOLESCENCE AND THE OBJEC TIONABLE RELATIONSHIP

On the basis of the case of Dora the development of an ''objectionable '' relationship is investigated. The ''objectionability'' is due to th e still incomplete: knowledge of Freud about transference/countertrans ference, about the developmental aspects of adolescence and to his att itudes to feminity, to the relationship of the sexes and to the existe nce as a daughter, that were determined by the spirit of the age, Freu d did not offer the space of development to young Dora, that she neede d, to be able to acknowledge her feminity and sexuality with its sexua l and phallic-expansive ambitions. Instead he breaks through the ''pro tective membrane'' by denying his and Dora's sense of shame and hereby taking no account of himself and the other. The reason is that he was led at that time by a therapeutical vision which gave enlightenment a bsolute priority. Freud shows Dora the way to her inner reality. Howev er, through his depersonalized symbolism he continues the same expropr iation of Dora's existence as a subject as she experienced it in her f amily and her social environment.
