Abstract
This paper describes a man who mutilated his genitals while psychotic. His personal case history is analyzed and compared to the findings earlier described in similar patients. The present article attempts to make a psychotic process understandable both in light of the individual patient’s history and in light of shared common unconscious themes.Keywords
