An analysis of Rebecca, character of the audiovisual production "The stranger in me" (2008), which is facing a psychosis in motherhood, was done. The objective of this study was to articulate the psychoanalytical literature about psychosis, in the light of authors such as Freud, Klein and Winnicott, to understand Rebecca condition, through a narrative literature review about this theme. The adequacy of psychoanalytical perspective to understand Rebecca's psychotic experience in motherhood was verified, emphasizing the importance of primordial care and primitive relationships.
