Garbarino reports on four years of analysis of a schizophrenic girl. Initially very regressed, with the establishment of a psychotic transference, the child showed marked improvement. The change coincided with her dramatizing the primal scene and her attempting to usurp the role of the analyst's wife. The vicissitudes of the patient's obsessive-compulsive defenses in the treatment are emphasized in evaluating the improved ego functioning.
