As humans, we find ourselves in an ongoing dialogue with evil. At times, this becomes a concrete discourse, in which demons and witches come to life. When traumatic events bring the individual face-to-face with terror, there is no room to examine and explore inner experiences, as these are perceived to be dangerous. Instead, an alternative, dissociative mechanism is developed, with split off self-parts created, condensed and frozen in time. One such part, the witch introject, holds aspects of the former abusive relationship- malice, terror, and helplessness. The individual takes on the burden of badness which characterized the traumatizing object, but with the consequence of being ruled by evil, bewitched. Although a desperate attempt to assure survival, a price is paid- deadness and disconnection from a whole unitary self occur, a major psychic catastrophe within itself. The following paper touches upon one such catastrophe, as experienced by a patient who felt herself to be bewitched. Bringing together clinical material and psychoanalytic theory, this paper attempts to understand the bewitchment situation as one of testimony to past atrocities, part of a dissociative structure set forth to save the patient from that which cannot be known.
