DESCRIPTION:Richard von Krafft-Ebing\, Iwan Bloch and of course Freud\, wh
 o drew substantially on the studies of various nineteenth- and early twent
 ieth-century\nsexologists\, all make extensive use of literary sources in 
 their works. Not only do they adopt terms and concepts from fictional text
 s\, but literary\nrepresentations frequently serve as evidence in their wo
 rks and are treated as case studies which are deemed as valid as empirical
  observations. This blending of discourses has substantially shaped the no
 sologies of the early sexologists and\, by implication\, psychoanalysis. T
 his paper analyzes the epistemological status and functions that are assig
 ned to fictional representations in a few\nsexological and psychoanalytica
 l works as well as the wider theoretical ramifications of factualizing fic
 tions.
