Abstract

The author describes how Yolanda creates her lifelong family novel across the years. Yolanda is an adopted daughter who begins her four phase analysis at the age of 4, concluding it when she was 25. During all this time the patient creates her family novel confronting different fantasies related to her adoption. In the first phase (4-8 years): she goes from a first version stating that: "My mother had no life… I was born from a Petra (stone)" to the fantasy: "One mother stole my other mother". In the second phase (8-11 years): her fantasies concerning her origin spin around a triangular relation, formed by two women (two mothers) and a child. Then she confronts the two couples of denigrated parents and creates the third fantasy related with her adoption: "My parents were so poor they couldn't have me". In the third phase (17-18 years): she analyses her first pregnancy and her voluntary abortion as a way to understand, through action, the reasons for her adoption and to elaborate identification with a filicidic mother. In the fourth phase (21-25 years): she establishes a stable link with her boyfriend. She gets pregnant again and she gives birth to her child. Assuming this child as his son, she also assumes herself as the child of her adoptive parents and take them as her family. The author argues that it is during the analytical process and thanks to the transferential link when the adopted kids can confront and work out the first narcissistic wounds caused by their adoption.
