Zvi Lothane's writings on Schreber present us with new facts, but they also challenge many older interpretations of Schreber's illness. In this paper I will use the new information provided about Schreber by Lothane in order to address one theoretical point about psychosis: the breakdown. The framework to interpret the psychotic breakdown will be Lacanian. I interpret Lothane's research as reintroducing the Lacanian theory of psychosis on a more sophisticated level.
