Abstract

After some regarding about the presentation of madness in western culture and its appropriation through medicine, this paper strives to illuminate different principles between psychiatric diagnosis and structural diagnosis. Within this analysis, consideration is given to the conceptualisations and clinical applications of the French Psychoanalytic School. A case of childhood psychosis is used to illustrate how the psychoanalytic and psychiatric formulations work side by side to generalise new opportunities for the patient.
