[The stomach speaks: chronicle of a deadly boredom].
The author describes the evolution of the psychotherapy of an 11 year old child: starting with an anonymous depression related to diffuse somatic complaints, it evolved into a playful assertion of a self which seems to depart from the family destiny. The author describes his counter-transferential feelings of tiredness and boredom which were compensated by a constant complicity with his young client. The author suggests that it is this very act of supporting the assertion and formulation of the subject, and disregarding unconditionally the boredom of what is said, which has brought about such a striking and sudden change.
