Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.3, pp. 133-149. ISSN 0486-641X.

In this article the author talks about her clinical experience with Moscarda, a patient named based on Luigi Pirandello's work. This name is used as it refers to the intense contact between the analyst and the patients who show strong psychotic traces. In the case discussed, the closeness to the strange from the patient, to the analyst and both, was brought for critical thinking on the challenges the analyst has in her mind, in order to develop its alpha function and keep it working, as well as on the relevance of the working toward, in order to reach the patient's primitive mind and access and develop his alpha function from the analyst's emotional experience.

Keywords : strange; alpha function; psychotic parts of the mind; primitive mind; working toward.
