[metissagesanguemisto]

The paranoiac builds [the world] up once more […] in such a way that he can live in it again. He builds it up through the work of his delusion. What we take to be the production of the illness, the formation of the delusion, is in reality the attempt at a cure, the reconstruction. […] the individual has regained a relationship to the people and things of the world, often a very intensive one, even if what was once a relationship of expectant tenderness may now be one of hostility. #schreber #memoriesofmynervousillness #memoriediunmalatodinervi #letturedelladomenica #bookstagram #books #book #libro
