TWO CASES OF FETISHISM

抄録

Two cases of male fetishism were interviewed and the process of appearance of perversion and its development were disclosed. The object of fetishism is women's panties in the first example and women's rubber swimming cap in the second example. The generation mechanism of fetishism in both cases seems to be rooted in the background of homosexualism. Though they are both rooted in homosexualism, the first case seems to be causedby the castration anxiety toward authoritative father. While in the second case, the homosexual tendency seems to be derived from the narcissism in the boyhood of a beautiful boy as well as the sensual caress of a cousin. The two cases were not given medical treatment for a special reason.
