ABSTRACT
From the very beginning the psychoanalytic approach to psychosis was primarily hypothetical. There is something that resembles a false start regarding psychotic transference in Sigmund Freud's thought. He was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. Jacques Lacan a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist he does not adhere to certain givens that stem from neuroses in his approach to psychosis. The discovery of transference, whose importance cannot be downplayed, has crystallized a particular relationship of psychoanalysis to paranoid psychosis. This is indicated by the affirmation that there is no transference in psychosis. Transference is often not so completely absent but can be used to a certain extent. The chief consideration in this connection is that so many things that in the neuroses have to be laboriously fetched up from the depths are found in the psychoses on the surface, visible to every eye. The specificity of transference in psychosis is inferred from the structure that people could call almost normal.
