Psyche herewith publishes for the first time an extensive case history from the estate of the late Alexander Mitscherlich. The patient had entered analysis in the early 1940's and was referred to Mitscherlich in 1948 by the colleague who had conducted the first phase of treatment. The therapy under Mitscherlich took place from 1948 to 1952. Mitscherlich presented the case of this fetishist to the psychoanalytic community several times. He considered publishing it, but did not do so during his lifetime. The present version was probably composed around 1955. Case histories of this sort have become rare in the psychoanalytic literature. Here we see the therapist Mitscherlich at his daily analytic work. Ordinarily only a fraction of this reaches the public.
