Abstract
A young blind man was brought to an out-patient clinic for alcoholics while severely inebriated. Certain aspects of his behavior suggested a functional (hysterical) component of his blindness beyond that due to structural damage. Examination in a psychological laboratory confirmed this suggestion. The role of his blindness in the patient's transactional existence is discussed, along with the implications of “curing” his hysteria even though techniques for bringing his behavior under visual stimulus control were available.
