The function of the recourse to the substance in the psychosis: links and disconnections

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract:

This article aims to present the impasses regarding the function of the recourse to the substance in the psychosis. The contributions of the nodal clinic and the clinic of ordinary psychoses allow us to resituate the investigation of the function of the recourse to the substance in the psychosis in the economy of enjoyment of each subject in function of the links, disconnections and re-links in relation to the Other. In addition to the stabilizing function of substance use, via the imaginary identification of the signifier “I am a drug addict”, fragments of clinical cases show that recourse to the substance in psychosis can promote a disconnection in relation to the Other, promotes devastating effects on the body or even function as one of the worst names.

Keywords:
