Abstract
This report describes the intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy of a 7-year-old girl diagnosed as suffering from childhood schizophrenia. The treatment, lasting for 3 years, took place in an inpatient setting and followed a conflict-resolution model. The treatment process revealed an unusually orderly unfolding of a psychosexual zonal configuration: oral, anal, and phallic-oedipal. The child's style of communicating with her therapist by way of riddles is illustrated and examined in relation to her self-other experience in each emerging psychosexual phase.
