ABSTRACT
In February 1910, a few months before completing his understanding of Schreber’s schizophrenia, Freud began treating a wealthy Russian, Sergei Pankejeff. Although Sergei’s problems were related to a gonorrhoeal infection which he had contracted five years before, when he was seventeen, it was on a nightmare Sergei suffered as a young child that Freud particularly focused in his resulting case study.
