abstract="This analysis of the novel is geared to two clinical concepts, that of &quot;hybrid psychosis&quot; [&quot;mischbildhafte Psychose&quot;] as examined by Mentzos and others, and that of &quot;vertical splitting&quot; first introduced by Kohut and later used by Gedo. In the first part the author studies the way these concepts manifest themselves in the novel in the form of a splitting-up of the characters and the constellations between them. In the second part he traces the process of a progressive psychic disturbance in which the persecutory superego gains the upper hand, culminating in the suicide of the central figure.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
