ABSTRACT
In this chapter, authors try to illustrate the permanent conflict between the pathological organisation of a predominantly psychotic personality and a pathological organisation with a predominantly non-psychotic functioning, that is, between tendencies towards life and tendencies towards death, but with a predominantly non-psychotic functioning. Rather, the word is the physical materialisation of what it refers to. The material presented is not in chronological order, but comes from an advanced stage of analysis. This material also includes emptiness due to the loss of psychotic functioning, anxiety about the uncertain future, and a non-omnipotent present. Authors continue at a point of the analytic process in which there is the possibility of the patient coming out of the psychotic organisation. The material once again reflects the struggle between the resort to the psychotic, or to its avoidance, as it has become a threat, because the fallacy of the "logic of madness" has already been unmasked.
