Abstract
When asking how a schizophrenic delusional patient can achieve a new, psychotically determined entity of his existence, we can differentiate the following aspects: 1. A quasi-transcendental organization of the delusional experience establishing the patient's singular self-certitude and the absoluteness of the delusion. 2. A reflexive self-confrontation and self-disclosure within his psychotic experience as the basis of the patient's new, psychotically different self-being. 3. The directly intrusive experience of becoming psychotic as a fundamental transformation of oneself may trigger the awareness of a specific new-beginning and therefore of a radical change in personal self-being. This means as well an existential self-seclusion.
