The paper describes a very short analysis of a 3 1/2-year-old boy. It gives clinical material to show his identification with a primal object which for inner and outer reasons keeps reverting to a damaged and accusing condition. I suggest that this constitutes a developmental impasse which can be understood in terms of Melanie Klein's theory of the depressive position as a melancholic identification which is affecting the child's current life and development, and which may put at risk his future mental health. The paper gives clinical glimpses of the cruel pressure of his superego, some of the forms taken by his underlying misery and anxiety, and the nature of his defences. In the brief time available (5 1/2 months), though he made progress, his underlying melancholic identification was not really changed.
该论文描述了对一名3岁半男孩的简短分析。它提供了临床资料，以表明他与一个原始客体的认同，由于内在和外在的原因，这个原始客体不断回到受损和指责的状态。我认为这构成了一种发展僵局，根据梅兰妮·克莱因的抑郁位态理论，这可被理解为一种抑郁性认同，它正在影响孩子当前的生活和发展，并可能危及他未来的心理健康。论文给出了其超我的残酷压力、他潜在的痛苦和焦虑所呈现的一些形式以及他防御机制的本质的临床 glimpses。在可用的短暂时间（5个半月）里，尽管他取得了进步，但他潜在的抑郁性认同并没有真正改变。
“临床glimpses”这里原文可能有误，推测可能是“临床 glimpses”，我按原样翻译了，不太明确其确切含义。
