Based upon many clinical studies in CHS, CMP and private consulting, we have obtained a new concept on frequent conjunction about manic depressive psychosis. In order to name these factors in such a conjonction, we have used -in principle- white factors, or false mourning. In a second term, we realized that this term could lead us to confusion with the concept of pathlogical mourning, as well as the André Green concept on this, with same name.Therefore, we replace this by white factors, a more operational name.

White factors, are negatives ones, tragical or catastrophics, as well as an erotical loss, a death, a sudden change in way of life, (and) that do not signifies a value of loss of object (but) reactualises empty value because of forclusion of paternal function. White factors is a provisory name (expecting for another more structural name) as they constitute many white spaces, or holes, in the development of the signification chain, organizing dangerously abreaction of subconscious. They produce, in fact, empty spaces engaged to enigmatic experience, where the subject gets more or less accomodation after the catastrophe of his born. However, these factors are not obligatory to be tragic ones, many times they are. Our opinion is that subconscious's reject gets back with strength in each one of white factors connecting, by its intermediary, with the pulsion's side that becomes into death.

We want now study these white factors in the psychotherapy of the manic-depressive states.
