Stekel vexed not only his patient Wittels, but many other individuals as well. Throughout his long psychoanalytical career, he perpetrated many other acts of boundary-breaching. For instance, Stekel examined the genitals of one of his male patients who struggled with penile impotency, in an effort to see whether this man could become erect at that moment. According to Dr Edoardo Weiss – one of the pioneers of psychoanalysis in Italy – Stekel could be ‘sexual with patients’ (quoted in Roazen, 2005, p. 58). In later years, after Stekel emigrated to Great Britain, he treated an English patient, Dr Mary Capes, who reported that in the midst of her psychotherapeutic sessions, the analyst would often play the piano (Stanton, 1988). Apparently, Stekel even requested that one of his male patients, the young physician, Dr Martin James (1997), should administer an enema to him.
