Abstract
This paper is a tale of two immigrants, an analyst and a patient, whose treatment was truncated because he left after ten sessions. The contrast between their different migration experiences and their sharing the same language provided the grounds for an intense therapeutic experience exacerbated by peace demonstrations and changes in immigration policies in the US. Mourning of the loss of the patient was an important piece in the transformation and understanding of the analyst’s own unresolved issues.
