ABSTRACT
In this paper, I will discuss my work with Alice, hoping to illustrate how, because of my various identifications and counteridentifications with victimized parts of her, I often did not feel I had a choice in how I responded to her, even though on some other level of consciousness I knew I did. In particular, I will discuss Alice’s dream or alleged dream and its impact on me. I say alleged dream because it was not clear that it was a dream. The “dream” depicts a rape of one of Alice’s dissociated self-states by another. This material is disturbing, and I want to forewarn the reader before he or she continues.
