Psychological change in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
In the spirit of Jerome Frank's (1973) pioneering studies of universal characteristics in psychotherapeutic change, I have tried to demonstrate that character development in Pride and Prejudice can be understood in terms of psychoanalytic process. In the course of this thesis certain observations have emerged. Change occurs in the context of a relationship intense enough to disturb the tendency of personality to homeostasis (engagement). The change-inducing relationship is composed of a sequence of effects and countereffects (mutual influence). For these influences to be salutory (therapeutic) there must be a directional pull provided by the attitude of the primary agent of change, a pull that resonates with important motivations of the object of change (directionality). In Pride and Prejudice we recurrently found self-concept, and particularly the question of worth, to be an important interface of these phenomena. As therapists we are familiar with this as a clinical issue. Study of the novel suggests that self-esteem may play a central role in motivating therapeutic change. This observation raises intriguing unanswered questions regarding the conceptualization of self-esteem in psychoanalytic thinking.

Somatization and dream work.
This paper refers to somatization processes which correspond to organic disorders in the body or illness. In relation to it, the author discusses dream production and its development as major indicators to be used in following the course of treatment, as changes, both positive and negative, are reflected in the form, texture, and content of dreams. These points are illustrated by clinical material.
The Secret Garden. A therapeutic metaphor.
This paper analyzes a work of children's literature, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, to demonstrate a therapeutic process. Two children are able to resume normal development, and overcome pathological character traits, through the agency of new object relationships, peer group experiences, and favorable environmental influences. As a result, both attain the skills and ego functions of normal latency and prepuberty. Elements of this therapeutic process that resembles the psychoanalytic encounter and the therapeutic treatment milieu are highlighted and discussed. The central role of transference, with its similarities and differences in both settings, is emphasized. Finally, the metaphoric meanings of "secret gardens" are explored and connected with the enormous appeal of this book for its prepubertal girl readers.
