'''Sergei Konstantinovitch Pankejeff''' ({{lang-ru|Сергей Константинович Панкеев}}) ([[December 24]], [[1886]]–[[May 1886–May 7]], [[1979]]) was a [[Russia]]n Russian aristocrat from [[Odessa]], who was best known for being a patient of [[Sigmund Freud]], who gave him the pseudonym of [[pseudonymWolf Man]] of '''Wolf Man''' (''der Wolfsmann'') to protect his identity, after a dream Pankejeff had of a tree full of white [[wolf|wolves]].
==Biography==
Pankejeff would later publish his own work under Freud's given pseudonym, and would be in contact with Freudian disciples until his own death (undergoing analysis for six decades, despite Freud's pronouncement of his being "cured"), making him one of the longest-running famous patients in the history of psychoanalysis.
A few years after finishing psychoanalysis with Freud, Pankejeff developed a psychotic [[delusion]]. He was observed walking the streets staring at his reflection in a mirror, convinced that some sort of doctor had drilled a hole in his nose. [[Ruth Mack Brunswick]], a A Freudian, explained the delusion as displaced [[castration anxiety]]. ==References==*Sigmund Freud, "From the History of an Infantile Neurosis" (1918), reprinted in [[Peter Gay]], ''The Freud Reader'' (London: Vintage, 1995).*James L.
