What Else Did the Obsessive Hummer Hum About?: A Contribution to Samuel Juni's Case. Cora L. Diaz de Chumaceiro. Pp. 219-233.
The paper is a commentary on Juni's 1987 article, "From the Analysis of an Obsessive Hummer: Theoretical and Clinical Observations." De Chumaceiro uses Rosenbaum's concept of "songs of the transference" and emphasizes the need to analyze the manifest and latent content of songs' lyrics in relation to the analyst in order to produce total resolution of underlying conflict. She re-examines Juni's clinical material and feels that the homosexual transference was not adequately interpreted, and therefore left symptoms. She concludes that the challenge for the therapist is to be able to decipher the "secret message" hummed songs contain, both in the lyrics and in the compositional aspects of the music.
