Fanny presented delusive and hallucinatory activity ; her symptoms disappeared after two years of psychotherapy. The psychotherapeutic technique must follow a scarlet thread : the conviction that the delusive and the hallucinatory belong to the patient's internal world and fit into a story that he is making of himself ; the associative line of the session allows us to suggest to the patient that the psychotic be repatriated into her psychical space. The bringing in to the world « of an identity that is being created by the patient.»
