""A Young Girl's Diary"" is a book written by the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, which was originally published in German in 1915. The book is a collection of diary entries written by a young girl named Anna O., who was a patient of Freud's. The diary entries cover a period of about two years in Anna's life, from the age of 14 to 16, and offer a unique insight into the mind of a young girl during this time.Throughout the diary, Anna writes about her experiences with family, friends, school, and her own personal struggles. She discusses her relationships with her parents, particularly her mother, whom she feels is overbearing and controlling. Anna also writes about her friendships with other girls, her crushes on boys, and her feelings of insecurity and inadequacy.Freud uses Anna's diary entries as a way to explore the development of sexuality in young girls, as well as the ways in which societal norms and expectations can impact their psychological well-being. He also delves into the concept of repression, and how it can manifest in young girls as they navigate the complexities of growing up.Overall, ""A Young Girl's Diary"" is a fascinating and insightful look into the mind of a young girl during a particularly formative period in her life. It offers valuable perspectives on the challenges and struggles that many young people face as they navigate the transition from childhood to adolescence.Dora asked me to-day how it was I knew all about these things, whether Hella had told me. I did not want to give Hella away, so I said quite casually: ""Oh, one can read all about that in the encyclopedia."" But Dora laughed and said: ""You are quite on the wrong scent; you can't find a tenth of all those things in the encyclopedia, and what you do find is no good. In these matters it is absolutely no good depending on books."" First of all she would not tell me any more, but after a time she told me a good deal, especially the names of certain parts, and about fertilisation, and about the microscopic baby which really comes from the husband, and not as Hella and I had thought, from the wife. And how one knows whether a woman is fruitful.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
