ABSTRACT

This patient has only just started analysis, and I am already worried because she acts out a lot: some days she does not turn up, quite often in fact; other times she calls me on her mobile phone at the time of the session to say she is in such and such street, it would take her some time to arrive, and she would be late, so she won’t come. She doesn’t talk about cutting off the treatment, but she constantly does this sort of thing. The sessions I have brought today are the third and fourth in the analysis.
