Based on Freud, Lacan and on an important essay by Heidegger dealing with the topic of inhabiting, the question concerning the inscription of the body — the first home — is highlighted following an encounter with the Other. The absence of the meaning of lack prevents the psychotic person, in certain situations, from appropriating for himself the sense fact that leads to the onset of psychosis. The invention of the personal body saves the subject from the wanderings produced by the disruption of reality, and leads to stabilization of the psychosis.
