The authors present a clinical case of paranoid psychosis in which the issue of female identification plays a prevalent role. After a brief introduction on the clinical approach to psychosis in Lacan's teaching, the clinical case is exposed and commented on, highlighting in particular (1) the analyst's position; (2) the role of pousse à la femme (“push-towards-woman”) in psychosis; and (3) the therapeutic effects of psychoanalytic treatment for the psychotic patient.
