Evolution of Mentalization during the Treatment of a Psychotic Patient Having Somatizations - 2001.


8

The author studies the observation of a psychotherapy of a patient initially presenting a serious somatisation: diabetes flared up in the context of badly mentalised psychotic functioning. The reorganisation of a homosexual core enabled the patient to better control the diabetes. Little by little a better mentalisation was organized making room for an incestual functioning with his mother.
