Biographical note
The patient was a male German Jewish refugee working in the 1950s. He was paranoid and seemed to compensate for this through admiring Hitler and kept a photograph of Hitler on his person. "Heinz" attended therapy sessions once a week at a psychiatric centre. He had very precise English diction and sat very straight when drawing.
This information is taken from conversations between Rita Simon and Wellcome staff between 1995 and 1997.
