The Patient Who Didn't Say Anything

A case presentation of a dramatic resistance which developed almost immediately, continued for an inordinately long time, and refused to yield to a variety of modern psychoanalytic techniques. This somewhat unusual situation provides an opportunity to study in some depth the meaning and usefulness of character resistance in severe psychic states.
