A Story of Losses and the Creation of an Alternate World

  • The author presents a clinical case to illustrate the consequences of a history of loss, beginning with the early death of the mother. The creation of a complex defen-sive system based on internal division and manifested through the existence of an alternate world is analyzed. The author stresses the importance for the patient of re-experiencing the sense of emptiness within an analytical setting and learning to tolerate it thanks to dependence on the auxiliary self of the analyst. D. W. Winni-cott’s suggestion of a relationship between the experience of emptiness and the fear of breakdown are also discussed.
