Of Sigmund Freud's five great histories, The Wolf Man is, without a doubt, the one that presents the most problems with the theory and technique of psychoanalysis, considered by many analysts as a failure of treatment, the target of endless criticism among the detractors of psychoanalysis, the object of controversies that has questioned not only psychoanalysts but also philosophers and historians. and it is specifically from those pitfalls and even those failures that the history exposes to us, where a number of nuances, findings and questions are despised that give it the indisputable richness that this material possesses.
