Psychosis and drug addiction

the construction of case in the clinical nursing

Abstract

It is the building of a case in the context of the work as a nurse on a service of psychosocial care. For this, we seek to guide both the clinic and the elaboration written from psychoanalysis. Thus, we present the case of Raul, the "Mad Beauty", where learning to work with the unconscious guided the direction of the treatment. Realized, assuming the role of "Secretary Alienated" as alcohol consumption, to Raul, relates to an attempted social bond and how the signifier "Raul Seixas", which makes the substitutive name of the Father, allows a mooring possible for this open sky unconscious, characteristic of psychosis.
