ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the case study of the patient, a woman of thirty who is an actress, came to analysis in a rather friendly state. She talked about many things that were going on in her life. She has an attractive personality and there was much that she could say which indicated that people actively like her. This girl has worked very hard from the age of ten, when she started acting. The patient had not been able to find any particular thing to react to. In this patient's analysis the really difficult thing was to get at eating and the fantasy of eating, that is the oral erotism and sadism that complicate other kinds of relationships to objects. This patient often goes to sleep but then she is usually in an exhausted state from overworking physically and from staying up late in the way that belongs to the actress life.
