The following summarizes findings of Iris Hilke's case presentation of “Miss Nicht” and two discussions of the case by Rosalind Kindler and Jacqueline Gotthold that were presented in an ongoing annual workshop, “How Child Therapy Informs Adult Treatment.” General ideas about child treatment and how they directly inform the work in adult psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are outlined. For example, a willingness to temporarily suspend a sense of knowing and understanding in favor of affective immersion in the emerging clinical process, or tolerating some of the most intense feelings in the transference/countertransference, is discussed. Because this workshop included mostly clinicians not working with children, a summary of discussion is also described with implications for adult work.
