Esta dissertação tem por objetivo discorrer sobre a paranoia de Daniel Paul Schreber, mais especificamente, no que se refere à assunção de sua missão divina como fruto de um trabalho do delírio através da escrita de seu livro Memórias de um Doente dos Nervos. Freud deixou uma marca indelével no campo das psicoses com o estudo do caso Schreber: um passo importante na medida em que as produções delirantes são legitimadas no plano próprio à experiência psicanalítica freudiana, o do inconsciente. O avanço teórico lacaniano abre as vias para uma inserção mais efetiva do estudo acerca das psicoses enquanto clínica possível. Conforme Lacan, a psicose se distinguiria das outras estruturas clínicas pela foraclusão (a Werverfung) de um significante primordial na ordem simbólico. Essa falta marca toda a fenomenologia da psicose, implicando o estabelecimento de uma relação peculiar do sujeito ao conjunto da linguagem: o psicótico é habitado pela linguagem; contrariamente ao neurótico que habita a linguagem, ou seja, toma-a por todo seu ser e enquanto fala. O sujeito habitado pela linguagem conota essa relação de exterioridade que há com o conjunto da linguagem: uma não integração do sujeito ao registro do significante, ao ponto que a análise de um pré-psicótico vai levá-lo ao desencadeamento da psicose. A entrada na psicose se manifesta com o surgimento de uma linguagem preciosa por ser plena de significância, mas também de uma dimensão do significante em seu aspecto material. É justamente na dimensão da fala do outro enquanto objeto, ao falar de si, que as ideias delirantes schreberianas vêm à superfície e seu quadro paranoico se revela para o ouvinte. O testemunho é essa dimensão da fala na qual o sujeito está engajado. Assim, a escrita do livro de memórias schreberianas é um testemunho aberto sobre essa especificidade do psicótico em sua relação à linguagem, mais nomeadamente, sobre a intrusão do discurso do Outro. A especificidade da função da escrita, no caso Schreber, se sustenta justamente na medida em que, conforme Lacan, neste nível há algo da ordem de uma reflexão: livrar-se do parasita falador ou deixar-se invadir pelas propriedades fonêmicas da fala. Essa definição é magistral para lermos a paranoia schreberiana: é em meio a esses dois polos que vislumbramos a sua escrita: a língua estrangeira plena de sentido (a língua fundamental) e, no outro extremo, as frases vazias dos pássaros falantes que sucumbem com a homofonia. Evidencia-se aqui senão aquilo que a noção do inconsciente a céu aberto na paranoia mostra-se devedora, ainda mais se considerarmos a formulação lacaniana do inconsciente ser algo no real (Seminário Les non-dupes errent - 1974). É por ser algo no real que Lacan sustenta que é do lado da escrita que se concentra aquilo de onde tenta interrogar essa sua formulação acerca do inconsciente. Por isso, não é sem razão que, tal qual Lacan, é do lado da escrita que Schreber tenta interrogar isso que seria expressão de sua paranoia: o retorno no real do significante foracluído no simbólico / This dissertation aims to discuss the paranoia of Daniel Paul Schreber, specifically, with respect to the assumption of his divine mission as the result of a work of delusion through writing his book Memoirs Of My Nervous Illness. The declared extension of the clinical psychoanalytic treatment of psychotic patients was given by Lacanian theories. Thus, there will be a primacy of the Lacanian theoretical framework in this dissertation. However, Freud left an indelible mark in the field of study of psychosis with the study of the Schreber case in a text from 1911: an important step in the psychoanalytic research with respect to psychosis, because the delusional productions are legitimized in the same plan of Freudian psychoanalytic experience, the unconscious. The Lacanian improvement in this field opens the way for a more effective insertion of the study of the psychosis as a possible clinical. A next step in Lacan\'s theory occurs when he formulates that psychosis is distinct from other clinical structures because in that case theres a foreclosure (Werverfung) of a primordial significant in the field of the Other. Thus, that lack defines all the phenomenology of psychosis, implying the establishment of a special relationship of the subject with respect to the set of language: the psychotic subject is inhabited by language, unlike the neurotic who inhabits the language, in other words, he takes it for his whole being and speech. The subject inhabited by language connotes the relationship of exteriority with the whole language: A non-integration of the subject to the field of the significant, what implies that the analysis of a pre-psychotic will lead him to the triggering of his psychosis. The entry in psychosis manifests itself with the emergence of a precious language full of significance, but also of a dimension of the significant in its material aspect. It is precisely in the dimension of talking of the other as an object, to talk about themselves, that Schrebers delusions come to the surface and his paranoia reveals itself to the listener. The testimony is this dimension of speech in which the subject is engaged. Thus, the writing of the book of memories by Schreber is an open testimony about the specificity of psychotic in his relation to language, most notably, about the intrusion of the discourse of the Other. The specificity of the function of writing, for Lacan, is sustained according as at this level there is something of the order of reflexion: get rid of the talkative parasite or let yourself be invaded by the phonemic properties of speech. This definition is masterful to read the Schreber\'s paranoia, because we envision his writing precisely in the middle of these two poles: a foreign language full of meaning (the fundamental language) and, at the other side, the empty phrases of talking birds who succumb to homophony. It is evident here what the notion of the unconscious is at the surface for the paranoid is too related, especially considering the Lacanian formulation of the unconscious being something in the real (Seminar Les non-dupes errent - 1974). It is because its something in the real that Lacan argues that it is at the writing side that he focuses on where he tries to interrogate this formulation about the unconscious. So it is not without relation that, as Lacan, is at the writing side that Schreber tries to interrogate what would be the expression of his paranoia: the return from the real of the significant foreclosed in the symbolic order

This essay examines the themes of paranoia and claustrophobia as elements of horror in John Campbell’s novella “Who Goes There?” (1938) and John Carpenter’s film-adaptation of said novella, called The Thing (1982). The novella and the film utilize the lack of trust and reliability in between the characters as elements of fear as well as supernatural elements in the form of a monster. This essay focuses on the different parts of the story running through both versions, mainly the setting, the characters and the monster, to show how the themes of paranoia and claustrophobia are used throughout these as elements of fear and horror. With the help of Sigmund Freud’s concept of the uncanny, as well as other sources, this essay argues that while the monster plays an important role throughout the story, the threats created by the paranoia and claustrophobia are equal to the monster itself.

Considering such perspective, some possible negative influences of the megalomania as well as the paranoia were studied in the transference establishment and hence in the course of treatment. A possible incidence of megalomania in the transference neurosis, melancholy, paranoia and schizophrenia was taken into account. Such reflection was performed based on psychoanalysis. Sigmund Freud s texts were primarily used. Due to the peculiarity of the clinical case, it was considered the possibility that the patient has started, at the time of the treatment, the construction of an influence machine, such machine was provided by the use of computer science, having its primordial manifestation with the arousal of the computer worldwide Internet. In order to do so, we based our conclusions on the ideas of Victor Tausk s text On the origin of the The influence machine in schizophrenia / Esta dissertação teve por finalidade discutir as implicações da incidência da megalomania em um caso clínico acompanhado no âmbito da clínica particular. Dentro dessa perspectiva foram discutidas as possíveis influências negativas da megalomania e da paranoia no estabelecimento da transferência e, consequentemente, na condução do tratamento. Fizemos uma reflexão sobre a possível incidência da megalomania nas neuroses de transferência, na melancolia, na paranoia e na esquizofrenia. Essa reflexão foi realizada com base na psicanálise. Utilizamos prioritariamente os textos de Sigmund Freud. Dada a peculiaridade do caso clínico, discutiu-se a possibilidade de que o paciente tenha iniciado, na época do tratamento, a construção de um aparelho de influenciar, aparelho esse que foi subsidiado pelo uso das ciências da informática e com manifestação primordial na rede mundial de computadores Internet. Para isso, nos apoiamos nas ideias de Victor Tausk discutidas no texto Da gênese do aparelho de influenciar no curso da esquizofrenia

Purpose: A systematic review and meta-analysis tested the 'paranoia as a defence' model's original prediction that those experiencing persecutory delusions would take excessive credit for positive events as part of an attributional style that protects them from low self-esteem. The empirical project explored forensic mental health nurses' experiences of a Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) training programme with an emphasis on complex case conceptualisation and implications for clinical practice. Methods: In relation to the systematic review and meta-analysis, those experiencing persecutory delusions were compared to those with non-paranoid psychosis, depression, and healthy controls, in terms of the magnitude of internalising attributional bias (IAB) for positive events. Correlation analysis also examined the association between magnitude of IAB and paranoia severity. In the empirical study, 10 forensic mental health nurses took part in semi-structured interviews to qualitatively explore their experiences and applications of CAT training. Results: Consistent with the model, an internalising attributional bias was present for those experiencing paranoid delusions when compared to individuals with depression. Contrary to the model, there were no differences between the other control groups and there was no significant correlation between IAB and paranoia severity. Internal attributions for positive events appear to be associated with depression, rather than paranoia. Analysis of the empirical data provided a rich account of nurses' experiences of the CAT training and how this helped them to conceptualise complex patients and promoted more positive ways of working. Conclusions: The findings from the systematic review and meta-analysis do not support the original model, but are consistent with the modified 'paranoia as a defence' model of persecutory delusions. Other cognitive models also help explain paranoia suggesting that refining the existing models further could be useful. The empirical findings suggest that CAT could be a valuable model of psychologically informed practice for nurses working in a forensic setting. Specifically, training appeared to help nurses develop a better understanding of their patients, greater self-reflection skills, and improved clinical care approaches.

Gender differences in psychopathology have long been of interest in the fields of clinical, developmental, and personality psychology. Lewis proposed two models to explain the emergence of the development of gender differences in depression and paranoia. Lewis stated that gender differences in depression and paranoia can be traced to corresponding gender differences in cognitive style, guilt-proneness, shame-proneness, and the use of specific defense mechanisms. Although research evidence has validated certain components of these two models, neither model has ever been tested in its entirety. This research project intended to test Lewis's models in their entirety by utilizing structural equation modeling.

Sob esse aspecto, nas relações poéticas, a discussão sobre a cidade, o sujeito lírico e a modernidade é intrinsecamente ligada, já que o início do que pode ser considerado moderno está relacionado com o crescimento das grandes cidades. Essa relação entre sujeito-cidade mudou as relações sociais e, consequentemente, o fazer e o pensar a arte. Tais relações entre sujeito e cidade se acentuam na contemporaneidade, uma vez que o caos urbano se torna mais acirrado e a sensação de fragmentação dos sujeitos se aprofunda. Com base nesses pressupostos, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi empreender um estudo de quatro poemas de Roberto Piva (1937 – 2010) presentes no livro Paranoia ([1963] 2009): “A piedade”, “Poema Porrada”, “Praça da República dos meus sonhos” e “Visão de São Paulo à noite – Poema antropófago sob narcótico”. Partindo do enfoque do urbano, o intento do trabalho foi estabelecer de que forma se constrói a imagem da cidade de São Paulo nos quatro poemas supracitados. Em relação aos aspectos da modernidade lírica, algumas teorias servirão como base às análises dos poemas, como a de Paz (2012; 2014), cuja obra trata, dentre outros temas, da construção de imagens e ritmos dentro dos textos na modernidade poética, e de Friedrich (1978), que discorre sobre os aspectos negativos da lírica moderna, os quais acreditamos permanecerem na obra de Piva. / According to Orlandi (2004), the body of the individual and the ‘body’ of the city form, within urban space, one sole construction, which encompasses their economic, cultural and historical dimensions. In that sense, both types of bodies and their destinies are reciprocally linked. Since the inception of what may be considered modern is related to the growth of big urban centers, as far as poetic relations are concerned, the discussion about the city, the poetic subject and modernity are intrinsically connected. Such relationship between the self and the city has undoubtedly changed social relations and, consequently, the ways in which art is conceived and made. On the other hand, the self-city relationship has been enhanced in contemporary society due to a more acute perception of urban life as chaotic and of the individual as fragmented. These presuppositions lay the basis for the present thesis. Its objective is to examine four poems by Roberto Piva (1937-2010) published in his book Paranoia ([1963] 2009), namely, “A piedade”, “Poema Porrada”, “Praça da República dos meus sonhos” and “Visão de São Paulo à noite – Poema antropófago sob narcótico”. By focusing on the urban aspect, this thesis intends to show how the aforementioned poems representthe city of São Paulo. The aspects of modern lyricism analyzed in this thesis were examined according to Paz’s (2012; 2014) theoretical work, which concerns, amongst other themes, the composition of images and rhythms in modern lyricism. Other literature includes Friedrich (1978), which considers negative aspects of modern lyricism which we believe remain present in Piva’s work.
