Dear Dr. Binswanger,
Best wishes for the New Year. May it bring you the end of our fears.1
Many thanks for your note about the F. case. You were right to think that I would not be deeply impressed by it. After all, it merely concerns her overt behaviour. Characteristically, she keeps all her deeper motives from her doctors. Even if her motivation of her rejection of her husband were correct, the way she reacts is still characteristic of erotomania. The ‘simple’ psychopathy is probably not so simple after all.
