    Area of Science:

    Background:

    • Vertigo is often understood as a physical symptom.

    • Psychoanalytic treatment offers a unique lens to explore the developmental trajectory of such symptoms.

    Observation:

    • The symptom of vertigo in psychoanalysis appears to be a manifestation of separation anxiety.
    • The development of vertigo during treatment mirrors the patient's evolving object relationships.
    • Distinct forms of vertigo correlate with specific developmental stages and relational contexts.

    Findings:

    • Identified several forms of vertigo: fusion-related, fear of falling, aspiration-related, escape/imprisonment alternation, attraction to the void, and competition-related (oedipal).

    • Implications:

    • Understanding vertigo's psychoanalytic meaning can enhance therapeutic interventions for separation anxiety.
    • The symptom's evolution provides a roadmap for assessing relational development in patients.
    • This framework aids in comprehending the transition from dependence to self-reliance within the therapeutic process.
