Abstract

In presenting an account of a psychoanalytically informed therapy with a severely traumatized patient, this paper attempts to address questions of how such a patient can psychically survive such a trauma, and how she may make use of her objects. What kind of countertransference experience the therapist may need to bear and what may be the aim of such kinds of therapy is considered.
