A Very Smart Little Girl Teaches Her Analyst About Love
and the Problems of Sharing

Presenter: James Herzog, MD

This paper will describe the analysis of a girl who developed a dramatic hysterical symptom upon entering the office for the first time. Like the first dream of an adult analysis, the unraveling of the meanings of this dramatic production was the stuff of our play and work together.

James Herzog, MD, is an adult and child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. He is a training and supervising analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and a supervising analyst at the Sigmund Freud Institute in Zurich. He is the author of Father Hunger: Explorations with Adults and Children, published in 2001 by Analytic Press.
