For Audrey
[My patient] believed he had recently seen a work on
agoraphobia in a bookshop window and was now looking
through all the publishers’ catalogues in order to get a
copy. I was then able to explain to him why his efforts
were bound to be fruitless. The work on agoraphobia
existed only in his phantasy, as an unconscious intention:
he meant to write it himself.
