Indirect Communication or the story of a cleptomaniac — The problem of the cleptomaniac is seen in a inter-individual context. This approach diminishes the danger of isolating and reducing it to a mere hormonal or/and sexual problem. The ultimate meaning of the behaviour of the cleptomaniac, as any behaviour, comes into focus only when one tries to transcend its biological basis. The problem of the cleptomaniac is human and therefore inter-human.
