ABSTRACT
From the point of view of the heuristic, it is expected that this method will serve to enhance and refine clinical observation and description of the changes that occur during long periods of analysis or in the course of a full treatment. Psychoanalytic process, even in traditional settings, is difficult to convey and harder yet to measure. How deep is the dialogue with the patient and with others, based on affective experiences, body, fantasies, dreams, sexuality, symbolic representations, and ability to play and be creative?. At times it is megalomanic and omnipotent in relation to herself and others and is lacking at the emotional level. The main focus was on the need for secrets, distance from some (husband, analyst, Argentina) and symbiosis with others (son), avoidance of affect, conversion of emotion to physical distress, and the use of projective identification as a source of conflict at work and in social relationships.
