This essay outlines the reflection upon institutional work carried out with psychotic children. Having Michel de Certeau's view of the term narrative - seen as enhancing the "action forms" in the world of those who seem to be marginal to the official exchange circuits - as a starting point, the idea of "bricolage" is hereby used as support to a viewpoint that intends to bet on a perspective that should look elsewhere and suppose that, even if apparently unintelligible, the tireless effort of these children in their contact with the object draws an intent of an even more difficult construction, once the word bears the materiality of a book, a chair or even a cushion.

Palavras-chave : Psychosis; children; institutional work; groups; psychoanalysis.
