In this article we aim at solving the enigma of the lucid intervals in the manic depressive psychosis through the clinical case of a patient treated in a Psychosocial Care Center. We believe we can develop a rigorous experience of the analytical treatment in public health services. We use the Lacanian topology of the knots as a method for the construction of the case. We postulate that in and out of the outbreaks the knots untangle and re-entangle between the three registers — the imaginary, the symbolic and the real — forming a non borromean knot (clover knot) that enable the stabilization of the subject.
