title: [Two or three of us? Case study of a psychoanalytic therapy of a girl between the oedipal phase and the latency period].
abstract: This article presents a case study of a psychoanalytic psychotherapy of a girl at the age of five to eight years with a predisposition to somatization and anxious-compulsive symptoms in the transition from the oedipal phase to the latency period. In the diagnostic phase, the concept of scenic understanding is used. In the representation of treatment, the process of transference and countertransference in the relationship between the therapist and the patient has been placed in the foreground. The therapeutic process is understood as a general movement in which patient and therapist are performing together towards the treatment goals. Basics of this are both, the working alliance and the therapeutic dialogue, which is based on an interactive feedback system which serves the uncovering of blocked development efforts. The treatment technique is also oriented in terms of linguistic expression, abstinence, and interventions to the needs of the development phase of the patient. In the meetings with the parents will be referred to the process of change in the parent-child relationship through the psychotherapy of the child and to the topic of transgenerational transfers of anxieties and emotional blocks.
