FERRARI, Ilka Franco. About love and some of the highlights in psychosis. []. , 61, 3, pp.87-96. ISSN 1809-5267.

The love theme is covered and linked to specific issues of partnership in psychosis having the Lacanian psychoanalysis as the main reference. It covers some formalizations considered essential to ponder difficulty of its existence in psychosis: love as passion of the being that soothes the lack-to-be linked thus to give what it doesn't have; sublimation of desire, affection that stops writing up, contingency; substitution of non-sexual relationship and differentiator of a partner to a pure symptom. It's considered the possibility to tell about love in psychosis as a dead love in order to the subjective constitution of these subjects. Therefore the subjective position of psychotic's partner - which isn't symptom of the unconscious - is located, as well as the psychotic subject's position in the sexual intercourse that makes it exists. It's also addressed the usage of the organ and a role of indicators that make it possible a lasting partnership which are attested by the clinic and daily life
