Wilhelm Fließ (born  October 24, 1858 in Arnswalde near Frankfurt (Oder) , †  October 13, 1928 in Berlin ) was a German physician , physiologist, ear, nose and throat doctor and medical adviser.

Life

Fliess, son of a Jewish family, studied medicine in Berlin, where he received his doctorate in 1883, and received further training as a physiologist from Hugo Kronecker before he settled down as a throat and nose specialist. His practice was in the Berlin district of Tiergarten at Wichmannstrasse 4a. In 1906 he wrote a first treatise on an alleged temporal law in illness, recovery and the date of death, which he believed to be determined in the course of his patients' illnesses: the biorhythm . Emma Eckstein operated on Fliess .

Wilhelm Fließ was a close friend and confidante of Sigmund Freud , who was particularly interested in Fliess' theory of the treatability of dysmenorrhea through effects on the nasal mucosa. Freud carried out his self-analysis with him and was thus able to set up a model. However, Fliess and Freud became increasingly estranged, and in 1903 they met for the last time. Freud's letters to Fliess from 1887 to 1904 were preserved and were edited in 1950 by Anna Freud and Ernst Kris . An unabridged edition appeared in 1985.

Wilhelm Fliess had two sons. His grave is in the Berlin Dahlem cemetery .
