520 _aAs part of a psychoanalytical theory of migration, we present readers with the study of a Chinese immigrant who undergoes psychoanalysis because of a recurrent depressive state. By sharing some of her dreams, we present the unconscious problems associated with her immigration status and family and social conditions surrounding her migration process. As the reader will notice, this immigrant’s dreams reflect the losses, suffering and subsequent psychic integration achieved over time and treatment. The dream of truncated Bonsai accurately reflects the split with the roots (country, history, ethnicity and culture) that any immigrant may suffer and how they can survive a rupture of that nature. We can follow the history of the immigrant from leaving her village in China and her personal and professional development later on.
