Changes

Among the [[psychotic]] [[language]] disorders which [[Lacan]] draws attention to are holophrases and the extensive use of neologisms (which may be completely new words coined by the [[psychotic]], or already existing words which the [[psychotic]] redefines).<ref>{{Ec}} p.167</ref>

In 1956, [[Lacan]] attributes these [[language]] disorders to the [[psychotic]]'s [[lack]] of a sufficient number of ''[[points de capiton]]''.

<blockquote>"If the neurotic inhabits language, the psychotic is inhabited, possessed, by language."<ref>{{S3}} p.250</ref></blockquote>
