The author portrays the journey of a patient who, submerged by mourning and under the effect of regression, rediscovers her Oedipal objects with their incestuous erotic attachments. Dying in a session would be both a “bad joke” for the analyst and a vicissitude for identification and Oedipal encounters : it would be dying in the arms of her analyst. In this sequence, the author highlights the power of the primary objects, which are never completely desexualised.
