Abstract

This paper presents a study of the early works of Lacan, in which he breaks with the study of psychosis by traditional psychiatry, which interests us at the point where such a rupture shows the originality of the initial paths of Lacan. Initially, the Lacanian theory is developed by adding the field of personality studies to psychosis, defining the paranoid phenomena in their understanding of relationships. This perspective becomes possible only insofar as Lacan operates a theoretical advance, in making a distinction between the genesis and gnoseological orders in men.
