In this book, the author describes his psychoanalytic work with
psychotic patients and the logic that underlies their
often-delusional constructions. He explores how the concept of
psychosis has evolved over time and shows how the delusional world,
with its proto-symbolic equations, may amount to a philosophy of
life. Clinical examples taken from his own clinical work, both in
individual psychoanalysis and in group therapy with schizophrenic
patients, illustrate his theses. In his exploration of the
psychotic ego and multi-dimensionality, he shows how his work is a
continuation of the ideas initially put forward by psychoanalysts
such as D. W. Winnicott, Melanie Klein and Hanna Segal, as well as
how much it owes to his own analysis with Herbert Rosenfeld and
supervision with Wilfred Bion. For Resnik, working with psychotic
patients amounts to an "archaeology of the present". He discusses
in detail such concepts as narcissistic depression, the atmosphere
of the psychoanalytic encounter, the role and impact of dreams in
psychosis, and the dimensionality of the psychotic universe.
