The psychoanalytic voyage of a breast-cancer patient
Joyce McDougall
The author points out the importance of Psychic reality in breast cancer patients and the fact that psychological support is essential, though many times neglected, to these patients. A case is presented, in which the patient takes a psychoanalytic voyage, revealing her fears, analysing her way to see cancer, death and life.
