Contributions from Wittgenstein and Freud to the Lacanian clinic of psychosis

Abstract

This article deals with psychosis clinic based on the possible articulations derived from the psychoanalytic view and the theoretical relationship between Lacan and authors such as Wittgenstein and Freud. First, it makes a possible articulation between the Wittgenstein´s logical about language and Lacan´s conception of psychosis and its clinic. Second, it structures some key concepts of Freud's work that are retaken by Lacan for the strengthening of his theory of psychosis. Finally, it deals with the analytical method for the intervention and approach of psychosis according to Lacan.
