This clinical presentation provides an opportunity to understand the unfolding development of sadistic sexual perversions, separation anxiety, and learning inhibitions. The material is very relevant to adult analysts and psychotherapists, as well as those working with children and adolescents. The case demonstrates the way in which the framework of analytic treatment supports the regression needed for an unfolding and working through of complex unconscious fantasies.
