The Invaders: An outbreak of infantile psychoses in an adult day hospital - 2019.


41

The author addresses the psychopathological dimension of infantile psychoses (ted, f84) in relation to a hospital daycare facility for adults over 16 years of age, attended mainly by schizophrenics. After a historical and terminological detour on the subjects of autism and autoeroticism, the author returns to the clinical observation of a massive invasion of institutional space-time and of inexhaustible physical discharges, and methods of treatment for them—concluding on the clinical borderlines between infantile psychosis and adult psychosis.
