"I have to write down my name in the evening darkness"

Summary/Abstract: The study provides insight into psychological state of psychosis, from the viewpoint of the psychiatrist as a participant observer. Psychosis is a disorganized state of the individual, in which patients lose contact with everyday reality. The author intends to locate this psychiatric condition in individuals' narrative identity. The interpretative framework of the study is the symbolism of the labyrinth, the maze of the psyche. The paper emphasises how intersubjectivity transforms an Other into Significant Other by acceptance, understanding and empathy. For demonstration, the paper calls for references from literary and professional sources as well as from interview details with psychotic patients.
