In a patient suffering from an organic disease, only part of the resistance is from the patient himself since medicine tends to separate the psyche from the body. The superego operating in both analyst and patient favors repressing meaningful symbolic and genital interpretations of the material, giving preference instead to oral interpretation (for example, the patient's ulcer) in which the content is the idealized maternal breast. The only way to achieve true psychosomatic integration, especially in this type of patient, is to make him aware of the splitting in the transference neurosis, thereby incorporating the entire psychic apparatus.
