1924, Thomas Mann, Der Zauberberg [The Magic Mountain], volume 1, Berlin: S. Fischer; republished as Helen T. Lowe-Porter, transl., 1927:„ […] Dann ist da noch Krokowski, der Assistent – ein ganz gescheutes Etwas. Im Prospekt ist besonders auf seine Tätigkeit hingewiesen. Er treibt nämlich Seelenzergliederung mit den Patienten.“ „Was treibt er? Seelenzergliederung? Das ist ja widerlich!“ rief Hans Castorp, und nun nahm seine Heiterkeit überhand.- Krokowski is the assistant–devilishly clever article. They mention his activities specially, in the prospectus. He psycho-analyses the patients.” “He what? Psycho-analyses?—How disgusting!” cried Hans Castorp; and now his hilarity altogether got the better of him.
