Dr. Nello Di Micco, editor of several psychology columns in national magazines and a regular guest and expert commentator on psychology topics on various television and radio programs, returns to bookstores with his new essay, The Enigma of Psychosis – Lacanian Psychoanalysis Meets the Clinic (Brè Edizioni).
After having dedicated himself to the burning and pressing topic of gender violence with Il Tormento delle Donne per le Insidie dell'Uomo Violento and to the phenomenon of online romantic scams with L'immaginario, un viaggio nelle scamfe romantiche (SwanBook Edizioni), this time the focus is on psychosis, a condition of subjective suffering that determines the alteration of reality.
"What is psychosis? What is the contribution of Lacanian psychoanalysis to treatment? How can psychoanalytic practice provide concrete clinical support in improving the daily lives of patients who experience this condition of subjective discomfort?
I chose to write this clinical essay to try in my own small way to answer these questions, in particular through the treatment of a clinical case to allow people to experience first-hand the effectiveness and usefulness of Lacanian psychoanalytic practice” – commented Di Micco.
L'Lacanian psychoanalytic approach aims to help the ego to renounce its narcissism. The analyst must lead the subject in treatment to accept that the fullness of being, the unity of his ego, definitively lost, has an illusory character".

This interesting treatise is composed of two parts. The first one analyzes the concept of psychosis, a very widespread pathology. Statistics report that three out of a hundred young people are affected by this dysfunction. A form of suffering that is fortunately curable through drugs and sessions.
In the second part, Dr. Di Micco talks about a patient he is treating. He talks about the first four introductory meetings and the therapy adopted, which consists of two sessions a week.
After almost three years, the patient is still undergoing treatment, but has made significant improvements.
The doctor follows, in fact, the rules dictated by Lacan who, like Freud, analyzes the unconscious. A clear essay, written with simplicity. A deep and detailed analysis of a society that, especially in recent times, feels increasingly insecure and at the mercy of events.
