Dissociative amnesia is a psychiatric disorder charicterized by a sudden loss of memory, but which has no organic disease or explanation, It usually occurs after severe psychosocial stress or traumatic experience. As for medical treatment, medicine, psychotherapy and hypnosis are used. This case describes a 35-years-old woman who developed amnesia and depression following severe troublesome events. So she suited without expression and appealed against headache, dizziness, chest discomfort and weakness. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy was enforced for three days with hypnosis. She expressed the felling over the incident which she dose not like, and canceled in the past. She became reconciled with the family and left the husband by the heart. Then she recovered memory completely and body condition also improved. Recovery and growth of self were helped using supportive expression in order to prevent a recurrence. The prognosis is good with complete recovery, and there was no relapse.
