[Self-implied languages and psychopathological expression].

Nevroses and dellusions are self-induced language in which the uttered statement is implemented in an immanent and intransive way, through the psycho-pathological language itself. The narrative pattern and the pathological process are closely linked together in the same two-sided utterance, clinical and at the same time narratological; as is demonstrated by the analysis of two cases.

Delusions

[Post-traumatic disease-language. Geneaological analysis and time structure].

A part from head traumas all physical injuries, slight though they can be, can turn out to be the starting-points of neurotic syndrome of intolerance. The traumatic shock in the temporal meaning of the word (temporal event), more than the trauma itself, has disturbing and disynchronizing effects which are pathogenic. The post-accidental traumatic syndrome develops from the effects achieved by the temporal event. Such effects are supported afterwards by the creative psychopathological expression. The creative expression is structured into a speech-disturbance through a twofold account, 1) an account of the symptoms and words to describe and explain such symptoms, 2) an account of the narrative comments, at once subjective and expressed about the symptoms. The genealogical and temporal analysis of post-traumatic speech-disturbance shows the articulation of the various episods of the psychopathological creation.

[Ambivalence and diachrony].

The temporal analysis of ambivalence is based on an account given by two schizophrenic patients and the study of Samuel Becket's "The Nameless One". The narrative process corresponds to a creative expression in which discordance is part of the differences between verbalisation and sensitive phenomenous. Splitting of personality is linked with temporal ambivalence: the immediate past encroaches on the near future, giving an impression of synchronization in the simultaneous interplay of similarity and dissimilarity. The passing of time, disturbed in its accumulative cursus in the schizophrenic patient, results in a conflict between contradictory phenomenous in the same moment. This synchronization of dissimilar perceptions brings together disjunctive and conjunctive categories dominated by such coordinate conjunctions as "and... and", in the living diachronic discordance.
