title: [Fragmented psychotherapy of a boy returned from Bergen-Belsen].
abstract: Like an artist giving expression to his vision of reality, the psychoanalyst is also guided by a certain vision of psychic reality. With reference to the case of an orphan boy who survived Bergen-Belsen, the author traces the difficult process of attaining empathy with a vision of reality marked by the years spent in a concentration camp and the world of unimaginable horrors experienced there. After a long period of silence in which a relationship of trust was gradually built up, the young man found it possible to find expression for his un-utterable experiences, his unrest in the unconscious. The word Bergen-Belsen had become utterable.
