Freud rarely treated psychotic patients or psychoanalyzed people from their writings, but he had a powerful and imaginative understanding of psychosis. In 1903, Judge Daniel Schreber, a highly intelligent and cultured man, produced a vivid account of a nervous illness dominated by the desire to become a woman, terrifying delusions about his doctor, and a belief in his own special relationship with God. Eight years later, Freud's penetrating insight of Schreber's remarkable memoir uncovered the unacceptable impulses and feelings Schreber had about his father, which underlay his extravagant symptoms. Yet Freud also demonstrated the link with more normal patterns of psychosexual development and the human tendency to transform love into hate.
