This paper will describe a seven-year therapeutic process, including an interval of four years, of a female patient continuing in therapy. Her history and therapeutic process will portray the patient’s forward-edge striving. How the transference needs of the patient helped her go forward, even without mourning, despite a traumatic and neglectful environment during her childhood and despite all the disadvantages of the current political atmosphere, will also be explored. As an outcome of the therapeutic process, how a securely based intersubjective realm helped this patient to integrate sorrow associated with trauma into her “self” will be depicted.
