Niederland presents an artist-patient's 'pictorialized record of his analysis'. The patient was born with a congenital torticollis. His father died when he was five years old, and until the time of his analysis he had always been dependent upon charity in one form or another. When he entered analysis, he suffered from compulsive washing rituals, anal-sadistic and murderous fantasies, and some paranoid tendencies. The patient gradually improved during analysis and more than five years after analysis remained free of the presenting symptoms. About two years after analysis he presented the analyst with a series of pictures illustrating diverse transference reactions. Some of these are reproduced in this paper, dramatically illustrating genetic and psychodynamic aspects of the patient's psychopathology as manifested in the transference reaction.
