Abstract
Case reports of the analytic psychotherapy of cancer patients are rare ly found in literature. The presented paper discusses the importance o f cancer in regard to transference and countertransference. This will be demonstrated by sequences from the beginning and the end of a thera py. The complexity in interaction and in here especially the problem o f aggression will become obvious in the most difficult phase of therap y which is the separation, even more so, because this patient develope d multiple metastases at that time.
