The purpose of this clinical presentation is to discuss the unconscious psychodynamic implications of failure to thrive in a three year old girl. Because this child was unusually communicative, both verbally and non-verbally, and imaginative, this case offered a unique opportunity to distinguish between her life-threatening symptoms and her underlying psychological problems.
