ABSTRACT
Since Attis is the main subject of this book I will continue to play with the internal map of a psychotic personality organisation. I will place a metaphorical doughnut in the middle of the fragmented circle belonging to such an individual. This metaphorical doughnut represents the psychotic core, which in my earlier writings I named “infantile psychotic self” (Volkan, 1995) or “the seed of madness” (Volkan & Akhtar, 1997). My metaphorical doughnut is a filled doughnut, filled with rotten jelly, distasteful affects as expression of aggression.
