=====Psychosis=====[[Paranoia]] (is a [[French]]: ''[[paranoïaform]]'') is a form of [[psychosis]] characterised characterized principally by [[delusions]].

=====Sigmund Freud=====[[Freud]]'s [[experience]] of [[treatment|treating]] [[paranoiacs]] was limited.

===Projection==Shreber Case=====[[Freud]]'s most extensive [[work]] on [[paranoia]] is an [[analysis]] of the written memoirs of a [[paranoiac]] -- a judge named [[Daniel Paul Schreber]].<ref>{{F}} "[[Works of Sigmund Freud|Psycho-Analytic Notes on an Autobiogrpahical Account of a Case of Paranoia (Dementia Paranoides)]]", 1911. [[SE]] XII: 3.</ref>

Prior to the =====Homosexuality=====It is in this work that [[Freud]] puts forward his theory that [[paranoia]] is a [[Schreberdefence]] against [[casehomosexuality]], arguing that the different forms of [[Freudparanoiac]] linked the [[defense mechanismdelusion]] are based on different ways of [[projectionnegation|negating]] to the phrase "I (a man) [[paranoialove]]him."

The [[paranoiac]] [[defends]] against unacceptable impulses (such as [[hate]] and [[aggression]]) through [[projection]]. ==Schreber Case==[[Freud]]'s experience of treating [[paranoiacs]] was limited, and his most extensive work on the subject is not the record of a course of [[treatment]], but the [[analysis]] of the written memoirs of a [[paranoiac]] man (a judge by the name of [[Daniel Paul Schreber]]).<ref>Freud, 1911c</ref> It is in this work that [[Freud]] puts forward his [[theory]] that [[paranoia]] is a [[defence]] against [[homosexuality]], arguing that the different forms of [[paranoiac]] [[delusion]] are based on different ways of negating the phrase "I (a man) love him." It should be noted that [[Freud]]'s formulations in the [[Schreber]] [[case]] were based upon the utilization of the [[libido]] [[theory]] and an attempt to understand [[paranoia]] in terms of [[psychosexual]] [[disturbance]].  ==Oedipal conflict=Jacques Lacan= The [[psychoanalytic]] understanding of [[paranoia]] shifted to a core [[oedipal]] [[conflict]]. The [[paranoid]] [[defend]]s against [[unconscious]] [[homosexual]] [[wish]]es.  In the [[paranoid]] [[male]] the unconscious proposition: "I, a man, love him, a man," is contradicted in the following ways:  # [[delusions]] of [[jealousy]]: "It is not I who love the man; it is she,"  # delusions of [[persecution]]: "I do not love him, I hate him. Because of this he hates and persecutes me,"  # [[erotomania]]: "I do not love him. I love her, and she loves me,"  # [[megalomanic]] [[disavowal]]: "I do not love anyone else, but only myself." ==Jacques Lacan==

=====Case of Aimée=====It is the subject of his first major work, his [[doctoral dissertation]].<ref>Lacan, {{1932}}</ref>  In this work, [[Lacan]] discusses a [[psychotic]] [[woman]] whom he calls '"[[Aimée]]'", whom he diagnoses as [[diagnosesuffering]]s as suffering from '"[[paranoia|self-punishment paranoia]]' " (''[[paranoïa d'autopunition]]'') - a new [[structure|clinical structure]] proposed by [[Lacan]] himself.  [[Lacan]] returns to the [[subject]] of [[paranoia]] in his [[seminar]] of 1955-6, [[Seminar III|The Psychoses]] which he devotes to a sustained commentary on the [[Schreber]] [[case]].

=====Seminar III=====[[Lacan]] returns to the [[subject]] of [[paranoia]] in his [[seminar]] of 1955-6, [[Seminar III|The Psychoses]] which he devotes to a sustained commentary on the [[Schreber]] [[case]]. [[Lacan]] finds [[Freud]]'s [[theory]] [[about ]] the [[homosexual]] roots of [[paranoia]] inadequate and proposes instead his own [[theory]] of [[foreclosure]] the specific [[mechanism]] of [[psychosis]].

===Paranoiac Alienation===The [[ego]] has a [[paranoiac]] [[structure]]<ref>{{E}} p.20</ref> because it is the site of a [[paranoiac]] [[alienation]].<ref>{{E}} p.5</ref>  ==Paranoiac Knowledge== [[Knowledge]] (''[[connaissance]]'') itself is [[paranoiac]].<ref>{{E}} p.2, 3, 17</ref> ==Analytic Treatment==The process of [[psychoanalytic treatment]] induces controlled [[paranoia]] into the [[human]] [[subject]].<ref>{{E}} p.15</ref>
