The idea of triggering is when you

The idea of triggering is when you have this kind of psychosis, compensated with a CMB, you have a CMB psychosis, and you have a moment when the Make-Believe falls away, the make-believe is cut, and the subject’s world tumbles down, and then you have an evident triggering. Then you have a reorganisation which may be as good as before, or which may be with a deficit of not ‘good enough’, and the subject will disconnect progressively from social reality. Clearly Schreber had this. Beforehand, he had a compensatory identification, then when he was elevated to the top level his world crumbled, and then he managed to be a good patient on the doctor’s ward, he managed to continue his conversations with his wife, and managed to write his book. He became a writer. After the triggering, he managed to get back to some kind of compensatory activity.
