ABSTRACT

This paper seems to have been written early in the last war and given as a talk. Foulkes kept his handwritten manuscript but never revised it for publication, as there was the possibility that the patient discussed in the last part might see the article if it was published in a journal. Added notes, including a reference to Dostoevsky, indicate that he intended to prepare it for publication eventually. Since the case history goes back to his pre-war practice, there cannot now be any need to refrain from publication.
