Abstract

Ten sessions of the therapy of a psychotic patient are presented, illustrating the effectiveness of psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy for some aspects of psychotic processes. The seven-year therapy of this patient, while not wholly successful, at least enabled her to become able to live and work more or less independently.
