Abstract
This is a case of a four-year psychoanalytic treatment of a 65-year-old gay man. The patient sought treatment due to persistent, severe symptoms of bereavement following the death, five years previously, of his lifelong partner. After a one-year period of impasse in the therapy, the analyst and patient formed a therapeutic connection through exploration of their shared sexual subjectivities and the patient's gifts to the analyst. The patient regained vitality and the analyst found himself changed.
