Françoise Cointot: from the pain of thinking to the pleasure of dreaming

Victor’s psychotherapy for functional headaches occurs four years after he was cured of benign brain tumors and one year after his parents’ divorce. It will help him to process early defects of primal symbolisation and will revitalize his capacities for representing, symbolising and experiencing affect, thanks to the dynamic of transference and counter-transference.
