N1 - 16 N2 - What the psychoanalyst says when treating a psychotic patient can be experienced as bearing with it a menacing otherness, opening up the way for a travail of mental vagrancy, or even of suffering; there is the inherent risk of the patient being told what they cannot bear to hear. On the basis of psychotherapy in treating a psychotic adult patient in a day hospital, the article explores three differentiated but related registers of that patient’s problems: the transferential dynamic, the family environment and the healing institution. Reference to the works of W. Bion allows concepts of confusion and projective identification to be illustrated UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-dialogue-2012-1-page-79?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
