'''Wolf Man''' was a pseudonym used for one of [[Sigmund Freud]]'s  The "Wolf Man" case was Freud's most elaborate case history, containing a wealth of clinical and theoretical points. He was nicknamed the "Wolf Man" because of a striking dream which he recalled having at the age of four, and which marked the beginning of his [[neurosis]]. In it, he dreamt of several wolves staring at him, withtheir ears pricked up, paying attention to him. It was through the analysis of this [[dream]], and reconstructed childhood events, that [[Freud]] introduced the idea of the [[primal scene]], the [[scene]] of sexual intercourse between the parents thtat the child observes or infers.  It was also in this case history that he described in detail the concept of 'after-revision' or 'deferred action' (Nachträglichkeit). The primal scene is grasped and interpreted by the child some time later than his original observation of it, by after-revisin at a time when he can put it into words.            [[:Category:Famous Patients|famous patients]], [[Sergei Pankejeff]].
