A hypochondriacal episode reactive to initiation of psychoanalytic treatment
Abstract
This work describes the evolution of the psychanalytic treatment of a 14-years-old adolescent boy who was suffering from a serious obsessional neurosis when he first came for consultation.One divides the transformation undergone by this patient into stages
named by the symptomatology dominating at the time. The apparition of a confusional state gave rise to an episode where
hypochondria acted as a defense mechanism, as Rosenfeld stated in his works. Then a phobic stage developed, during which the patient’s condition was extremely serious due to the multiplicity and generalization of phobic objects. This stage was overwhelmed too during a period characterized by the starting of sexual activity and the development of creative capacity
