It is shown how the client works through "a) memories of being physically abused, b) confronting the madnes in her family ... c) she identifies with positive fem. figures and with positive masculine 'hero' figures, d) she started building a new house (identity) for herself..."

(The playful inner child, Anita; Faiblesse, the presexual adolescnet (like 'a wooden doll'); Carmen, the sexual adult; The higher self) and one male (August, the dancer). In one session she draws a stage 7 mandala (The functioning ego; Kellogg) integrating the four - and teh next day she passes an advanced piano exam. Case b. Mary:
