…I have only collected a few cases this Monday.
No. 3.
Dr. Z., a physician, aged 34. Has suffered for many years from organic sensitivity of the eyes: phospheum [flashes], dazzle, scotomas, etc. This has increased enormously, to the point of preventing him working, in the last four months (since the time of his marriage). Background: masturbation since the age of 14, apparently continued up to recent years. Marriage not consummated, much reduced potency; incidentally, divorce proceedings begun.
Clear typical case of hypochondria in a particular organ in a masturbator at periods of sexual excitation. It is interesting that medical education reaches such a shallow depth.
No. 4.
Herr D., nephew of Frau A, who died a hysteric. A highly neurotic family. Aged 28. Has suffered for some weeks from lassitude, intracranial pressure, shaky knees, reduced potency, premature ejaculation, the beginnings of perversion: very young girls excite him more than mature ones.
Alleges that his potency has been capricious from the first; admits masturbation, but not too prolonged; has a period of abstinence behind him now. Before that, anxiety states in the evening.
Has he made a full confession?
