- Authors
De Abdala, N. Graciela Kohen
- Abstract
The drawings made by the analyst --as a countertransferencial response to a prolonged period in which the patient slept in the sessions--resulted in a sustancial change in the evolution of the analysis. In this paper the author describes the analytic process of a 4 years old girl with progressive loss of sight due to uveitis, as the sole symptom of a rheumatic fever. One of the main aims of the analytic work consisted in revealing the repetition in the transference of early events. This events, considered as "psychocnalytic facts", marked a before and after in the process and evolution of treatment. A peak moment in the transference is described: primitive situations lived by the patient appeared in the analysis, doing possible to recreate the inner core of the conflict. The observation of the drawings by the patient allowed to illuminate the unconscious conflict, at the same time there was an improvement of the ocular pathology with complete recovery of vision by the end of treatment.
