ResumoDR. WILHELM STEKEL, the well-known psychoanalyst of Vienna, who died in London on June 27, was born at Bojan in Bukowina on March 18, 1868. He received his medical education in Vienna, where he was one of Krafft-Ebing's pupils, and qualified in 1893. After some years general practice he devoted himself entirely to neurology and psychiatry. He was one of the first medical men to be interested in psychoanalysis, and from 1896 until 1912 when, like Adler, Breuer and Jung, he assumed his independence, he was one of Freud's chief supporters. He was a very prolific writer. His principal works, which were all translated into English, are “The Beloved Ego” (1921), “Psychoanalysis and Suggestion Therapy”(1923), “Peculiarities of Behaviour” (1924), “Disorders of the Instincts and Emotions” (1929-1930), and “The Homosexual Neurosis” (1933). From 1910 until 1913 he was co-editor with Freud and Adler of the Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse, and in 1924 became editor of Fortschritte der Sexualwissenschaft und Psychoanalyse.
