Especially at the point of sexuality. Because of the fact man speaks he doesn't coincide with his body. He has to invent. Contemporary scientific techniques make one able to change sex. For several people this is very good news. But are there people we should try not to realize their desire? We will contrast a patient from our private practice with the case of Daniel Paul Schreber. In the second case, no surgery was done, in the second there was. We will argue that in both cases the anticipation of becoming-woman was crucial.

Starting off from the status quaestionis in psychiatry, psychotherapy and philosophy regarding the psychotic experience as a disorder of reality we bring together three different viewpoints: the objectivist, the subjectivist and the existentialist. We illustrate how all three perspectives are unable to provide with a definite description of what psychosis really is, let alone prove fruitful for a causal model towards explaining psychosis. We show how the anticipatory model we have worked out (boundary, context, organisation, hierarchy) brings all three fields of enquiry together in a synergetic model with clinical, ethical and theoretical benefits.
