Cesare Romano revisits Dora's clinical case in light of Freud's own seduction theory. His central thesis is that Freud failed to follow through with his initial proposition of confirming his theories on the traumatic aetiology of hysteria. He also suggests a new dating for the duration of Dora's therapy, placing the beginning of the analysis within the context of Freud's concurrent and recent life events. A detailed analysis of Dora's first dream shows that Freud did not go back to Dora's first infantile traumas, but stopped instead at the period of her infantile masturbation. In analysing this dream, Romano's theory begins to take shape around the idea that Dora suffered an early trauma: possibly, a sexual abuse inflicted by her father. Drawing on Ferenczi, the author uses the notion of the 'traumatolytic function of the dream' to show that Dora, through her two dreams, was elaborating her early sexual trauma. Dora's analysis is investigated alongside what was happening in Freud's life at the time of the therapy.

The author re-examines Dora s case bringing to light the fundamental contradiction between Freud s initial declaration that he will, with this case, confirm his theories from 1895 and 1896 namely, the theory of infantile sexual trauma (or seduction theory) and the conclusions which he really achieves in his analysis. Although Freud had already abandoned the seduction theory with a view of adopting the paradigm of the sexual drive, the author demonstrates, through a detailed reassessing of the works from the years 1895 1896 and of Freud s correspondence with Fliess, that Dora s case can be read through the paradigm of seduction. Considering the centrality of dream analysis in this clinical history, the author uses Ferenczi s concept of the traumatolytic function of the dream to show that Dora, in her dreams, was elaborating her infantile trauma. In the second part of the book, the author suggests that a number of events in Freud s life concomitant to Dora s analysis the breaking off of the friendship with Fliess and a supposed love affair with his sister-in-law Minna can have influenced Freud s countertransference.Through this revision, Dora s case acquires renewed importance within the still topical and still controversial debate on infantile sexual traumas."

The dramatic rise in the number of international courts and tribunals and the expansion of their legal powers has been one of the most significant developments in international law of the late 20th century. The emergence of an international judiciary provided international law with a stronger than ever law enforcement apparatus, and facilitated the transformation of many aspects of international relations from being power-based to being law-based.
The first edition of the Manual on International Courts and Tribunals, published in 1999, was the first book to survey systematically this new institutional landscape, by describing in an accessible and uniformly structured manner the legal powers and operating procedures of all major international judicial and quasi-judicial bodies. In doing so, it laid the groundwork for comparative study and research of the law and practice of international courts and tribunals - an emerging field of international legal research, which has already spurred a series of publications, conferences and academic courses.
This second edition updates the first edition by describing the many legal changes that have taken place in the last decade, including important reforms in the laws and procedures of many international courts and tribunals, relevant developments in their increasingly rich jurisprudence and the creation of new judicial fora. Moreover, it assesses the overall record of these judicial bodies. The data and legal analysis offered in the book provide both practitioners and academics with an important basis of knowledge that will help them better understand the details of international adjudication and its context.
