[Delusion, an enigmatic experience initiated by the advent of elementary phenomena].

The processes by which delusions are produced and created enable the subject to reconstruct a reality that escapes him. Several sequences make up the delusional temporality. They are not chronological, but allow us to trace the evolution of fertile moments through to stabilization in delusional certainty.

[The adventure of speech].

The step of going to a therapist is the fruit of a contingency of life, a painful reality, sometimes hardly noticeable and which becomes repetitive or unbearable. The therapist takes support on this adventure which begins in order to reveal the object which is nestled in the patient's speech. To orientate this work, the transference, the symptom and the part of jouissance are crossed.

[The work of mourning, getting through the loss].

Pain, mourning translate, in their indeterminacy of the affective experience, the suffering, the guilt, the anguish when the individuals are confronted with the death, the loss or the separation from the object. It doesn't matter if this object is a loved one or an abstraction..

[The hysterical 'truth strike' and the questions it addresses to the contemporary master].

Today's hysteria, contemporary with its clinical disappearance from current nomenclatures relayed by neuroscience, is scattered in the 'catch-all' categories of conversion disorders, histrionic personality, etc. These approaches convey what Jacques Lacan called the foreclosure of the subject, or what amounts to saying, its rejection or oblivion, in particular in the relationship to knowledge and to the jouissance of the symptom. The Freudian discovery of the unconscious, and its studies on hysteria, which made hysterical conversion a message to be deciphered, is reduced in the contemporary clinic to the dimension of a disorder to be and no longer to be interpreted, because interpretation implies the subject, its word.
