ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at a different kind of patient in order to try and get a new slant on the meaning of the sense of guilt. This patient is a woman who would probably be diagnosed as potentially schizophrenic. There is no doubt that the pattern of the failure of the analyst if he is free from a set pattern of his own belongs to the pattern according to which the patient's own environment failed at a significant stage. The end comes with some way in which one's other interests divert one's attention so that the patient is no longer in the "only child" position, no longer one's preoccupation. For this patient a false line in an abstract painting is so much worse than immoral that other language has to be found for its description or simply the picture has to be rejected.
