Abstract

This is a detailed report of the analysis of a single case of a pervasive and longstanding learning disability which proved to have been a neurotic symptom. The

analyst was able to help his patient achieve academically through the application of a classical psychoanalytic approach to the symptom as an expression of a pathological resolution of the oedipus complex.
