The Schreber Case by Sigmund Freud
A psychoanalytic case study of a high-court judge’s autobiographical account of severe paranoia, auditory hallucinations and elaborate religious-sexual delusions, interpreting these symptoms not as mere organic illness but as the outcome of infantile sexual conflicts and narcissistic injury; the analyst argues that repressed homosexual longings and attendant castration anxieties, rooted in early family relations, are projected and transformed into persecutory and grandiose delusions, with paranoid construction functioning as a defensive attempt to manage unbearable wishes and anxieties.
