Alice's case concerns a young woman who suffers from panic attacks when her husband leaves her alone. It emerges the picture of a fragile personality, strengthened by a particular relational strategy: making herself absolutely indispensable to others in order to have the sense of existing in return, not supported by the perception of her own independent agency. The therapist has scrupulously recorded his or her inner experiences, interspersed them with the lines of the ongoing therapeutic dialogue. In this way he was able to present a very complete material to his colleagues' supervision. At the centre of the discussion is a dream with clear transferential implications, the only one produced during three years of therapy.
