ABSTRACT
The famous memoirs of the German high court judge, Daniel Paul Schreber (1903), have attracted enormous interest, mainly due to Freud’s brilliant and controversial analysis of them in his 1911 work. Fortunately the voluminous literature (including Katan, 1959; Niederland, 1951, 1959a, 1959b, 1960; Santner, 1996; White, 1961) is ably reviewed and summarised by Lothane (1992) and shows that both the Schreber’s memoirs and Freud’s paper continue to make rewarding study.
