ABSTRACT
Jacques Lacan refers to treatment in the following way: “The cure is a demand that originates in the voice of the sufferer, of someone who suffers from his body or his thought”. The treatment of psychotic children re-poses this pressing problem, only in terms of the position of the subject within the structure. One thing was forcibly evident: the children with the better results had for the most part undergone treatment, either individually or in special schools. The frame of reference was psychoanalytic, but it should be distinguished from treatment in the proper meaning of the term. The direction of treatment prompted a symbolic operation from the real. The chapter explains the problematic from a Lacanian orientation, where in addition to the notion of treatment, the “stabilization” that the psychotic achieves within the interior of the structure is put into play.
