ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses Leticia’s analysis. Leticia’s memory, always a screen memory, that most resonated was that of a girl who would search for a hiding place every time they moved to a new house, fantasising that she would stay in that place and wait for someone to find her. It remained a fantasy until she finally did it and, painfully, stayed in the alleged hiding place for hours because nobody came searching for her. In Leticia’s case, being able to write about her was a way of appropriating her subjectivity as well as her psychic pain, and of working through them. The chapter outlines two diagnostic positions. One focused on structural problems, claiming the existence of early deficits that indicated that Leticia’s was a serious case. The other maintained that Leticia was a neurotic patient with a very severe inhibition.
