GASPARD, Jean-Luc. Relation to knowledge and ordinary psychosis: clinical considerations. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.62, n.2, pp. 14-24. ISSN 1809-5267.

The introduction of the syntagm "ordinary psychosis" by J-A miller has enabled to underline the current relevance of a new clinic called "continuist", no more accepting psychosis in the forms fixed by the psychiatric discourse. In times when the Other does not exist, the treatment of these subjects allows to unveil the types of bricolage, making it possible to enlace the categories RSI. This article seeks to initiate a reflection about the links between paternal function and relation to knowledge. In order to do this, starts from the distinction between neurosis and psychosis based on the subject's relation to knowledge and discusses the subject's encounter with an analyst, as well as the presence of an already constituted knowledge, a total knowledge, from which the psychotic derives his certainty. At the same time, distinguishes the process of thought and the relation to the body in psychosis. From two clinical cases, approaches the shame and the disbelief, and emphasizes the similarities and differences between neurosis and "ordinary psychosis" in the relation to knowledge. The article concludes with considerations about the analyst's position of addressee of signs without sense, which intends to assist an opening to the social lace for the psychosis' subject.

Keywords : Ordinary psychosis; Relation to knowledge; Subjective position; Disbelief; Shame.
