Analysis of linguistic expression yield, according to the author (and
Kraus, it appears), this preposterous specimen of
psychoanalysis:<br><br>
"Further associations provide the following connections. The patient
is interested in a young woman who is under treatment by Dr. Zamenhof, an
opthmamologist and the inventor of Esperanto. It suddenly occurs to him
that Zamenhof is courting the lady. This is a wholly unmotivated idea,
which betrays his latent mistrust and jealousy of his lady friend. Should
he catch her in an act of unfaithfulness, it would mean her death. The
death of his love! [Friedhof!] The name of Zamenhof generates further
associations. The patient suffers from a fear of sterility. He had
inspected his own semen and found live spermatozoa. But he is a skeptic.
He may have been mistaken, and his Samen-hof [semen-court] is only a
Friedhof [cemetery]. Then he thinks of the possibility that this young
woman might be pregnant, which he would find economically
undesirable."<br><br>
in Thomas Szasz, <i>Anti-Freud: Karl Kraus's criticism of psychoanalysis
and psychiatry</i>, p. 118-9.<br>

PS:<br><br>
Zamenhof says: "I did not have sexual relations with that
woman."<br>
