N2  - The author, who considers postpsychotic depression as a reaction to psychosis, illustrates some of the dynamics involved in the development and persistence of the state with letters from a patient. Among other dynamic and psychotherapeutic considerations, the need for self-realization and meaning in everyday life merits special emphasis in the treatment of those for whom escape from psychosis has meant not only deliverance from terror, but also a loss of grandeur and significance.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
