In this extended case description, entitled “Destruction and Guilt: Splitting and Reintegration Processes in the Analysis of a Traumatized Patient,” the author traces in detail how she was able, in small stages of the analytic relationship, to read aspects of the trauma as “quotations,” and gradually, through transference, to transform them into a symbolic language. Split-off aggression(s) and resultant guilt feelings became progressively accessible to interpretation through projective identifications in the transference.
