ABSTRACT
This chapter establishes clearly two aspects that are evident in a particular clinical case: the transference psychosis and the delusions (expressed in the transference-countertransference interplay), and the role of a father in the evolution of a patient. These two elements, within the framework of the sessions, allow the therapist to detect the rejection of the transplanted organ. In the clinical material, the chapter shows how the patient sometimes becomes his own father; he imitates his voice, his accent, and his father’s sayings. At one point during the treatment he plays the father taking care of his son, and it is then that he best takes care of the heart of a young man he fantasizes to be his own son, for whom he is caring.
