The letter and the proper-name signifier in psychosis

The purpose of the article is to show some parameters formulated in linguistics and logic, by which the locus of proper names in language and culture is established. The sole reference of proper name is not the being, but the desire of the Other stated at the moment of the performative nomination. The act of nominating by a proper name conceives a set of Imaginary and Symbolic bonds, one way of admission on the Laws of language, culture and desire. Whether psychotics react badly to their names, it is possible that they do not recognize themselves in these injunctions around their names.
