	Wikinfo \| Emma Eckstein
		Emma Eckstein was a patient of Sigmund Freud who underwent disastrous nasal surgery prescribed by Freud.
		Freud diagnosed Emma as suffering from a "nasal reflex neurosis" he claimed to have discovered, based on inspiration from a nasally-obsessed physician, Wilhelm Fliess.
		Miss Eckstein's nasal passages were so damaged that the left side of her face began to cave in, leaving her disfigured.

	Emma Eckstein
		Emma Eckstein (1865 - 1924) was an early patient of Sigmund Freud who underwent disastrous nasal surgery, undertaken by Freud's friend and confidant, Wilhelm Fliess.
		When she was 27, she came to Freud seeking treatment for vague symptoms including stomach ailments and slight depression related to menstruation.
		Eckstein's nasal passages were so damaged that she was left permanently disfigured.

	Emma's Nose (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Emma's Nose is either a brilliant addition to the anti-Freud industry or a blatant exploitation of it or both.
		During all this Emma (Meaghan Davies) doesn't say much because she is swathed in mummy-like bandages.
		Blood pours, literally, from Emma's mouth, staining her bandages a deep scarlet and making visible the bottom of her agonised face.

	Science Show - 3 June 2006 - Sigmund Freud
		Jeffrey Masson tells the bizarre story of Sigmund Freud, his patient Emma Eckstein, and his friend Dr Wilhelm Fliess, who believed that a woman's nose was connected to her genitals, and therefore, women with menstrual complaints could be cured by having a nose operation.
		That is, he blamed the bleeding on Emma Eckstein, not on the operation by Fliess.
		That's precisely what happened; Freud decided that these accounts by Emma Eckstein, and other women like her, of having been seduced by a man in their childhood were simply fantasies, they were the product of hysterical, unconscious lying, self-deception.

	VICTIMS OF MEMORY BY MARK PENDERGRAST
		Emma Eckstein was one of the first patients upon whom Freud practiced another form of questionable therapy that became the cornerstone for his psychological theories.
		Eckstein treated her patient deliberately in such a manner as not to give her the slightest hint of what will emerge from the unconscious, and in the process obtained.
		Even assuming that Eckstein was dealing with a new patient, however, we have only Freud's second-hand assurance that the therapist didn't give the "slightest hint" of the sort of incest memories she sought.

	M/C Reviews
		Emma's Nose is a play constructed around the actual correspondence between Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Fleiss - a doctor so ignorant and blasé in seeking concrete evidence for his crackpot theories concerning neuroses and 'feminine ailments' - as to equal and perhaps surpass Freud himself.
		The general gist of the play is that a young girl, Emma Eckstein (played by underused actor Kylie Morris) is treated by Freud and Fleiss (Jonathon Turner and Eugene Gilfedder respectively) for an illness, which Freud decides is the result of Emma's sexual impulse being transferred to her nose.
		Freud and Fleiss experience a mild hiccup in their relationship of mutual intellectual masturbation, but all is resolved when they discover that they are as capable of rationalising the event with the help of drugs and abstract theory.

	BEWARE OF DOGMAS AND DEBTS
		Freud has already begun to represent to Fliess and to himself that Emma Eckstein's problems originated with her, and not in the external world (in this case with two overzealous doctors).
		The truth is that the source of Emma Eckstein's bleeding was to be found neither in serious of 23-day and 28-day cycles nor in hysterical longing, but in an unnecessary operation which was performed because of a folie a deux on the part of two misguided doctors (Freud and Fliess).
		Freud had the option to recognize this, confess it to Emma Eckstein, confront Fliess with the truth, and face the consequences.

	Addendum - Jeffrey Masson and Freud's Seduction Theory by Allen Esterson
		In it he quotes a passage from the unpublished 'Project for a Scientific Psychology' in which Freud states that his investigation revealed that 'Emma' (presumably Eckstein) had two memories from the age of eight that a shopkeeper had 'grabbed at her genitals through her clothes'.
		Longer-lasting remission of symptoms was supposedly achieved by cauterization of the genital spot, and in a few cases, such as that of Emma Eckstein, Fliess performed a surgical procedure involving the removal of a bone within the nose (Masson, 1984[1985]: 77).
		It seems possible that Masson is playing down Freud's enthusiastic espousal of Fliess's nose theories because it may appear to be incompatible with his contention in the succeeding passage that Freud was beginning to focus on the notion of childhood sexual abuse as the cause of neurotic symptoms as early as 1893.

	Shrunk to size - smh.com.au
		In his play Emma's Nose, we find Freud valiantly struggling to find a psychosexual reason to explain why his patient, Emma Eckstein, keeps hemorrhaging.
		Emma is bleeding because Freud's friend, Dr Wilhelm Fliess, whom Freud asked to operate on Emma, left a metre of gauze up her nose.
		The laughs derive from Freud's efforts to blame Emma's bleeding on unresolved conflicts in her unconscious rather than his friend's negligence.

	The New York Review of Books: 'ASSAULT ON TRUTH'
		Rycroft mentions my speculation that Emma Eckstein may have had an illegitimate child, but fails to note that I relegated it to an appendix and drew no conclusions from it.
		What I suggest is that Freud, as her analyst, would have known if she had an illegitimate child, and that the existence of such a child could help to explain some of Emma Eckstein's concerns as revealed in her writings.
		I do not connect Emma Eckstein's writings or speculation about her child with the seduction theory discussed in the main body of my book.

	Grand Delusions - Chapter 7
		Eckstein suffered from profuse bleeding as a result of the operation, during which she nearly died.
		If Emma Eckstein's problems (her bleeding) had nothing to do with the real world (Fleiss's operation), then her earlier accounts of seduction could well have been fantasies.
		As Masson points out, once Freud had decided that Eckstein's hemorrhages were hysterical symptoms and the result of sexual fantasies, he was free to give up his original seduction theory.

	Sigmund Freud Biography and List of Works - Sigmund Freud Books
		Sigmund is the grandfather of painter Lucian Freud and comedian, politician and writer Clement Freud, and the great-grandfather of journalist Emma Freud, fashion designer Bella Freud and media magnates Matthew Freud and Ria Willems.
		He wrote several articles on the antidepressant qualities of the drug, and he was influenced by his friend and confidant, Wilhelm Fliess, who recommended cocaine for the treatment of the "nasal reflex neurosis." Fleiss operated on Freud and a number of Freud's patients whom he believed to be suffering from the disorder.
		Freud felt that cocaine would work as a cure-all for many disorders, and wrote a well-received paper, "On Coca", explaining its virtues.

		After her nose had bled and suppurated for many days, another surgeon found a mass of surgical gauze left in the wound.
		Freud meditated on the problem, and concluded that Emma's bleeding was hysterical in nature, caused by her wish to bring him to her bedside.
		It is only recently that we have gained a better understanding of Freud's intellectual adventure, and this has shown, among other things, its dependence on his women patients and collaborators.

	P109g: Sample Irma paragraphs
		In light of Freud's letter to Fliess concerning the unsuccessful nasal surgery of Emma Eckstein, additional interpretation can be offered to Freud's dream of "Irma's Injection" concerning various sexual issues and the issue of pregnancy.
		Upon further analysis, it is clear that much of the latent content of the dream points to thoughts of my dear friend Fleiss, and the terribly unfortunate case of Emma Eckstein.
		As M. said, "there is no doubt of the infection;" this I also associate, (as well as Irma's pale and puffy appearance) in part with Emma's state of affairs, as the delayed removal of the gauze would certainly be cause for infection.

		For the pregnant years 1887 to 1904, the essential source for Freud’s activities are his letters to an intimate friend and colleague, Wilhelm Fliess, a physician in Berlin, in which he admitted to Fliess that he had treated 13 hysterical women, and not one successfully.
		Fliess had developed a theory that associated the genitals with the nose, in such a way that disorders of the nose could cause psychosexual problems—nasal reflex neurosis”—which had to be treated by cauterizing and applying cocaine to the spongy bones of the nasal passages.
		When Emma returned to Vienna, she developed a grave infection and a near-fatal hemorrhage.

		Freud, in trying to cover up for Fliess, went so far as to argue that this hemorrhaging, obviously caused by the botched operation, could be attributed to the patient’s neurotic fantasies—that is, to her being an hysteric.
		Freud wrote; “Emma has a scene [in mind] where the Diabolus sticks pins into her finger and puts a piece of candy on each drop of blood.”
		This quote sounds much more like Freud’s reminiscences of needles and cocaine—and the occult—than the natural expression of Emma Eckstein, a Jewish woman of 32 and a strong feminist.
