[The medications from the viewpoint of the psychotic patients]

In this paper is given a short introduction to the functioning of the group therapy of psychotic patients at our unit; outlining also other aspects of their treatment (medication, hospitalisation, group therapy). By collecting examples from the reports of the group therapy we illustrate how the medicaments appear in the conversations. We analyse the given data from three different point of view: interactional, thematic and by the psychotic contents. In the quotations first we can find examples of the positive and negative attitudes towards medication, injections. Then patients speak about the states when medicament gives no more help, about their imaginations of alternative ways of healing, finally we can follow how the topic of medicaments mix with their delusions.
