On the cusp of the twentieth century, in the most cosmopolitan city in the world, there a sensation that entranced the city's populace as nothing had before--a sensation that cast a great and disturbing shadow over the city, and then vanished, leaving no more trace than a shadow would. Child Abuse in Freud's Vienna is the story of that forgotten sensation in this fabled city.

Whilst the blurb claims that the book focuses on these high profile child abuse cases, the author seems desperate to take any excuse to write about anything else. Long, rambling diversions into the careers and ancestry of any public figure who can be referenced along with lengthy descriptions of Viennese life and culture are occasionally punctuated by short passages on the abuse cases that the book is supposedly about. Coming to this from a true crime rather than Viennese history interest, I was bored and frustrated into a DNF. If 'Freud's Vienna' interests you this may be your thing but if you were interested in these crimes primarily, forget it. ( )
