The presentation discusses the findings of a three-year analysis followed by a four-year weekly virtual follow-up of a 30-year-old man. He was a talented musician well known in his field of scientific endeavor but hampered by his inability for imagination, fantasy and affect representation. The separation from the analyst precipitated a life-threatening Eating Disorder. The ED hid an un-acknowledged negative transference that proved impossible to analyze within the virtual frame. The referral to another analyst resulted in a successful termination.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this presentation participants will be able:

  1. To identify possible limitations of the virtual frame.
  2. To differentiate between represented and unrepresented states.
  3. To understand the limitations of the treatment of unrepresented states.
