Abstract

RIGUINI, Renata Damiano  and  FRANCA NETO, Oswaldo. Psychosis’ influence apparatus: Vitor Tausk’s artifice. Mental [online]. 2008, vol.6, n.11, pp. x-x. ISSN 1679-4427.

This work attempts to retrieve a psychoanalytical text by Vitor Tausk that we consider essential for the understanding of the psychosis problem with language. In this text - ‘About the genesis of the”influence apparatus” on the course of schizophrenia’ - the author observes phenomena of external influence, which are perceived by schizophrenic patients as produced by an apparatus. As a tool to better elaborate on the external character of language itself, the ‘influence apparatus of schizophrenia’ as applied to fragments of three clinical cases to catch a glimpse on the apparatus- the artifice- of psychosis.

Keywords : Psychosis; Language; Apparatus.
