“…[…] This is why, in a psychosis – regardless of the apparent solidity of certain delusional edifices, where there is an attempt to suture this fault– a complete collapse of the subject’s imaginary coordinates is always liable to occur, that is, a complete collapse of what we call recognition” (Thibierge, 2009, 23). The most enlightening example of this fragility of the specular register is given by the Fregoli delusion, described by Courbon and Fail (1927).…”

“…She identified her persecutor, in disguise, in any person she met, and from whom she received “influxes” of other sensory phenomena. Robine was “always there under the variety of rags” (Thibierge, 2009, 13). In this syndrome, “the other party is always the same person,” which indicates a problem where name and image are not joined: “The name names something the image fails to cover, to represent, in short, that it doesn’t allow one to recognize: it is something else” (Thibierge, 2009, 13).…”

This object, which shows through behind the image to the point of unjoining it from the name in order to become prevalent, is of course the object a , which is always at risk of appearing again in psychosis (because it is no longer framed by the fantasy).…”

“…The name here is conjoined to the object, raising itself to the real that it names. Consequently, the Image either joins itself to the named object (allowing it to appear behind each mask), or separates itself from it during moments of fragmentation (Thibierge, 2009, 20). Within this framework, we may tackle transsexualism in the case of the psychotic subject.…”

This article examines, from a psychoanalytical perspective, the function of identification in the relationship between the subject of the unconscious and his body, his body image, and the other. To this effect, the article leans on the clinic of the metamorphosis into a woman in psychosis, both in the way that it is presented by patients in the context of treatment, and in the form of testimonies extracted from literature. It demonstrates how specular identification allows the subject to unify himself, so long as there is an avoidance of possible deformations of the psychical body, including for example the delusion of transforming into a woman. It also turns its attention to the second logical moment of identification, when identification becomes sexed and organizes a certain relation to the other. A failure in this process sometimes leads the subject to opt for an identification of a gendered look, so as to stabilize himself. Indeed, transsexualism, which does not derive from any biological or sociological determination, and which can be observed in all subjective structures, is a possible way for the psychotic subject to problematize his relation to the body and to the other by identification with the woman, now that progress in science and law have enabled this.

Une clinique de la déliaison, une reprise du rêve traumatique

La clinique de l’exil dans la rencontre avec des sujets présentant des états déliés complexes, interroge le dispositif de nouage des registres Réel, Symbolique, Imaginaire pour ceux-ci. Parmi les phénomènes de répétition, le rêve traumatique surgit avec ses effets de rupture : un réel affleure. À l’appui de l’hypothèse de la déliaison des registres, celle-ci contribue à désaffilier le sujet du champ de l’Autre fragilisant l’abri que constitue l’ordre symbolique. Cette clinique exemplifie et actualise la disjonction structurelle présente, entre le réel du corps d’une part, et l’image unifiée du corps, d’autre part, même si la prévalence du symbolique et le primat du langage ont introduit le sujet dans la fonction métaphorique et la médiation du fantasme. L’adresse à l’analyste dans le transfert peut venir constituer pour un sujet un lieu d’appui, afin d’y tenter un re-nouage subjectif, notamment par un travail sur l’affect, « vraie touche du réel ».

The Self and the Subject: A Psychoanalytic Lacanian Perspective

International audienceIn current research, the self, or the “ﬁrst-person perspective,” is often studied in terms of its cognitive functions (agency, “mindread- ing,” body representation, etc.). As clearly shown by Decety (2002), these studies are based on the assumption that mental processes must be “described in terms that make it clear that they are achievable by one brain.” It has been well established, however, that though one human brain is necessary, it is not sufﬁcient for the development of a psychic subject capable of mental processes. Indeed, to do so, the brain must be connected with a particular language system, which is external and exists prior to the birth of each human brain. Psychoanalysis demonstrates that such a process not only yields human individuals who consider themselves as autonomous egos with a cognitive representation of the external world, but that these humans also suffer a particular “lack” or “want,” which makes each of them a desiring subject. Regardless of the conscious representations of the “self,” the psychic life (including cognition) of this subject is governed by the repeated—though vain—search for a repressed object that cannot be repre- sented. The contribution of psychoanalysis to understanding what constitutes the “self” was ﬁrst indirectly demonstrated through the psychoanalysis of neurotic patients. The study of psychiatric or neurological pathologies, in particular psychosis (Cotard, Fregoli, and Capgras syndromes) or the right hemisphere syndrome (in particular, somatoparaphrenia) conﬁrms these ﬁndings. This paper represents a contribution to the understanding of subjectivity through a psychoanalytic perspective on the Fregoli syndrome and somatoparaphrenia
