This article proposes to consider theatrical mediation and the embodiment of a stage persona as a source of subjectifying experience for psychotic patients. After a brief discussion of therapeutic mediations in the care system, we will show how the identification process creates a potential space for reflexivity for subjects experiencing an identity crisis. We will explore how group dynamics and group transference condition this transformation and how they form the essential framework for restructuring the subject's psychic abilities.
