This paper, like a previous one by the same author, aims at the exploration and further clarification of certain aspects of the Schreber case which have remained somewhat obscure until now. Freud, in his classic study of Schreber's Memoirs of a Neurotic, has of course commented on these aspects, without however always going into a detailed discussion of all their implications. He has left it to others 'to trace back innumerable details of his [Schreber's] delusions to their sources and so discover their meaning'.
