Résumé : Based on the theories of Joyce McDougall and Piera Aulagnier about the process of identification, this paper questions the idea that psychic normality erected as an ideal is a precondition for establishing psychotic potentiality. The author proposes to differentiate, on the one hand, the concept of psychic "normalization" as resulting from the primary identification of a subject with the desire of the mother and, on the other hand, the concept of "normativation" as leading to the secondary integration of parental discourse. In this perspective, psychotic potentiality would be caused by the ideal normalization to maternal non-desire. Using clinical experience, it will then be a matter of determining this ideal identification of a subject to the non-desire of the mother and developing methods for clinical intervention for the problem.
