The patient had more analysis with Freud himself in 1920 and was then entrusted to his pupil Ruth Mack Brunswick, who wrote a further clinical account. Although Freud did not regard the Wolf Man as a serious case, both his history and Mack Brunswick's report of his subsequent treatment suggest that he was in all probability a borderline and not merely neurotic. I shall consider here the conclusion of the first part of the therapy, as recorded by Freud in 1914. Owing to the persistence in the analysis of an attitude of docile indifference and passivity (the patient listened attentively to what was said to him but did not show any progress), Freud was compelled to make a radical decision-namely, to inform the patient that he intended to terminate the analysis on a set date.
Finally, I have devoted particular attention to the areas of contiguity between perversion and other mental conditions, such as psychosis or criminality, and to the attempt to identify a link between borderline structures and compulsive perversion. Notes 1. An allusion to the title of a book on perversion by Joyce McDougall (1980). CHAPTER TWO A precursor T he study of deviant sexuality began at the end of the nineteenth century with the publication of the first edition of Krafft-Ebing's voluminous treatise Psychopathia Sexualis (1886-1902), in which the sexual aberrations were for the first time deemed an object worthy of psychiatric study.
Freud, 1905d, p. 159] The sadomasochistic perversion as described in this passage represents a constant form of sexual behaviour, which remains stable throughout life and whose roots lie in infancy. The clinical reality, however, is less straightforward: for perversion may appear sporadically and then disappear again, or it may be present alongside other, seemingly normal, sexual behaviours. Glover (1933) notes that, during the psychotic crises observable in analyses, some patients have temporary perverse episodes, which serve for protection against anxieties that might trigger schizophrenic processes, thereby to some extent safeguarding the sense of reality.
