Among the aspects of clinical psychoanalysis lacking a satisfactory answer are the psychotic phenomena present in the field of neuroses. Since the beginning of his works, in “Studies on Hysteria”, Freud worried about them, mentioning them again in “Construction in Analysis” without coming to a definitive solution.
Lacan, as for him, delineates the field of psychosis proposing the verwefung as their structural mechanism. Beyond doubt, neuroses and their relationship to this phenomenon still awaken, nowadays, the interest of psychoanalysts who have already proposed various explanations, though they have not yet come to a consensus as for the mechanisms interfering in the production of hallucinations and delirium in neurotic people, thus revealing that the investigation on this theme is still open.
