This episode discusses psychosis as a psychic structure and psychoanalytic work with experiences of psychosis and extreme states. It draws on Bret Fimiani's recent Psychosis and Extreme States - An Ethic for Treatment (Palgrave 2021) to distinguish a psychoanalytic approach to the experience of psychosis, and to explore the perspectives of the psychotic subject in analytic treatment and of the analyst sustaining transference with psychotic subjects.  Find Bret Fimiani’s work here: Psychosis and Extreme States (2021) (Palgrave Lacan Series) References mentioned in this episode: The Schreber Case — Freud  Hearing Voices Network History Beyond Trauma — Francoise Davoine & Jean-Max Gaudillere  Follow the Center for Psychoanalysis and Culture on Facebook Read Penumbr(a), a new journal of psychoanalysis and modernity: penumbrajournal.org/
