This is a clinical case presentation of a Catholic hospital chaplain, who, like thousands of deeply wounded children from around the world, was sexually abused by his parish priest. Believing he had received 'a special blessing' contributed to his denial, rationalization and ultimate identification with his abuser. For 58 years, having repressed his earlier experience, this man lived as a Catholic cleric, abusing others. Entering analysis provided him with an opportunity to work with his dreams and memories. Analysis enabled him to consciously come to terms with and benefit from a future that fostered his individuation and allowed him to become a spokesman for the rehabilitation of others suffering a similar fate.

我以为我得到了祝福。

这是一位天主教医院牧师的临床案例展示，他与来自世界各地的数千名受重伤的儿童一样，受到他的教区牧师的性虐待。相信他得到了“特殊的祝福”，这促成了他对施虐者的否认、合理化和最终认同。58 年来，这个人压抑着自己早期的经历，以天主教神职人员的身份生活，虐待他人。进入分析为他提供了一个处理他的梦想和记忆的机会。分析使他能够有意识地接受并受益于一个培养他个性的未来，并让他成为其他遭受类似命运的人康复的代言人。
