==Direction of the Treatment==
In the paper cited by Lacan, Abraham writes:
<blockquote>The excessive value [the collector] places on the object he collects corresponds completely to the lover's overestimation of his sexual objct. A passion for collecting is frequently a direct surrogate for a sexual desire; and in that cse a delicate symbolism is often concealed behind the choice of objects collected. A bachelor's keenness for collecting often diminishes after he has married; and it is well known that interest in collecting varies in different periods of life.<ref>Direction of the Treatment. p. 245b/606. Abraham. 1908. p.67</ref></blockquote>
