Abstract
The narrative form is chosen to tell the story of a six-year analysis of a man in his thirties (K), who was given various diagnoses, including schizophrenia, during his many stays in psychiatric hospitals. K grew up in deprivation with a psychotic mother. The writer tries to capture the essence in a psychoanalytic process that takes its starting point in the loss of transparence in the basic psychic tissue and describes this tissue's partial renewal. In addition, the writer would like to convey a basic element in an individual's struggle to become a person. Or how the soul may be saved.
