The feminization in psychosis: The push towards woman and erotomania

Abstract

The trend towards feminization in psychoses is an issue to be dealt by psychoanalytical treatment. Entitled by Jacques Lacan as push towards woman, it is different from the position of the neurotic on the woman's category in the division of gender. The aim of this paper is to appraise the push towards woman and outline the destination that the delirium is able to grant it. The procedure consists in circumscribing the problematic of sexuality among human beings based on the Freudian theory and on Lacan's teaching about the subject inscription in the sexual partition. The cases Aimée and Schreber will be approached with the intention of delimiting the structure pressure on the push towards woman, the phenomenon emergency and its articulation with erotomania.
