ABSTRACT
Hallucinatory phenomena are almost invariably present in the schizophrenic's experience and speech: they can be either predominant or unobtrusive, either constant or sporadic; sometimes the author will discover them only long after their analytic work has begun. They generally emerge in the form of these 'voices' that accuse the subject of being homosexual, criminal, condemned to die or chosen for a sacrificial function. To illustrate what the author mean by 'existent sign', she will give the analogy of the relationship between an unused film and the image that is imprinted on its surface. This brings her to the metapsychological interpretation of these phenomena that she presenting to the people: it will be for them, and above all for the specialists present here, to judge whether or not it can enrich the theoretical and therapeutic approach to autism.
