[Study on the behavior of a female patient during psycho analysis]

1. This paper studies the meaning of an "acting" and its effect in the development of the analytical process. 2. Two phases can be discerned in this analysis: one before the "acting" and the other after it. The first one, with little development of insight. The second, of frank progress. 3. The study of countertransferencial reactions of the therapist became a valuable of the understanding of the motives of the patient's acting. 4. The therapist, unconciously, hindered the patient's freedom of expression and her specific fantasies, dealing only with the material inside the limits imposed by him. 5. The "acting" seen as a protest of the patients against the imposed limitation, contributed for the development of the analysis.
