In this clinical paper, the author describes elements that produce encapsulation and 'lethargic' part-objects which have been internalized. She also shows graphically how the somatization was composed, among other things, by ego dissociation, internalized depressive features of the dead father, election of the particular organ, erotization of breathing, identification with a dead brother (who died of asphyxiation), fantasies of respiratory incorporation through scents, strong ambivalent feelings, and masochistic tendencies.
