“…If an attempt at relieving the patient of their delusion without resolving their need for it is understood as largely unproductive, the psychotherapist may feel unsure as to how they are to proceed – a disturbing kind of uncertainty that can dissuade psychotherapists from engaging with psychotic and delusional patients (Aronson, 1989; Saayman, 2017, 2018, 2019). It has been well established in psychoanalytic theory that working with psychosis can be a confusing and disturbing experience for the psychotherapist (Bion, 1957; De Masi, 2009; Joannidis, 2013; Mills, 2017; Saayman, 2017, 2018, 2019; Schwartz & Summers, 2009). There are many psychoanalytic accounts of how and why psychotic communication is often represented and conceptualized as bizarre, disturbing, un‐understandable, and seemingly devoid of meaning (Arieti, 1957; Benedetti, 1999; Bion, 1954, 1975; Cain, 2010; Calamandrei, 2009; De Masi, 2009; Freud, 1924; Hill, 1955; Karon, 1992; Leader, 2011; Lucas, 2003; Olanen, 2009; Rosenfeld, 1969; Searles, 1963, 1972, 1973, 1975; Winnicott, 1949).…”
