A dramatised reconstruction of Dr Sigmund Freud's treatment of an obsessive neurotic.

The Rat Man was 29. His sex life was stunted. He has strong desires to cut his throat. He was terrified that rats were going to eat both his father and his girl friend. He'd suffered from obsessions since he was six. These were the basic facts that Freud had to work on. During the 11 months that he took to cure the patient, Freud evolved the new technique of psychoanalysis and for the first time, penetrated the unconscious mind of an obsessive neurotic, to prove the existence of infantile sexuality and the formative influence of our childhood experiences. By doing so, Freud revolutionised our attitude to ourselves and to other people, for The Rat Man's obsessions, are our obsessions. By understanding him we can understand a lot about ourselves.
