ABSTRACT
Mary obtained her PhD ten years ago and went on to postdoctoral studies abroad. She had approximately five years of analysis with a fairly well-known professional. After two years seeing him she decided to become a psychoanalyst. After an unsuccessful first attempt she was accepted by an IPA-recognised psychoanalytical institute. She ostensibly sought me out on the double grounds that her analyst had no training functions and that she had seen a conference presentation of mine.
