Empathy with Psychotic States in the Institutional Group

Department of Mental Health A.S.L.

This article focuses on the difficulty in empathizing with a psychotic patient, explaining that such a difficulty is determined by the distressing transformations which the state of the Self of this very particular type of patient undergoes. The concept of a narrative scenario is examined by illustrating that the scenarios produced by the group represent a particular sense of Self of these patients, with clinical examples taken from the group that the author documented during the course of regular supervision.

Key Words: psychic ground • psychic state • psychotic patients • scenarios • Self
