ABSTRACT
This chapter provides more convincing clinical proof of the existence of unconscious fantasies, and focuses on the case of a young college student named Lisa, providing material from a one-year period of her analysis. Lisa's case demonstrates the centrality of analysing unconscious sibling experiences during the treatments of certain patients. Lisa harbored murderous feelings toward her brothers because they "caused" her traumatic separations from her mother. After having gone to a restaurant with her visiting mother and brother Mark, Lisa had a dream about two cats in a piano. Through examining her anxiety, the analyst demonstrated how she had made the city into a kind of womb. He pointed out that she had not told him about the man she lived with, nor even the name of the restaurant where she worked. She admitted that she had been aware of her secrecy about the outside world, especially the restaurant.
