Abstract:
The role of insight in working with a preadolescent girl, who was engaged in a seven-year analysis, is examined from the perspective of therapeutic action. The patient's use of insight, within the context of a transference neurosis, contributed substantively to changes in the depth of object relations, modulation of affect, return of development to its anticipated pathways, marked reduction of obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, and profound flowering of intellectual development.
