The present research addresses the uniqueness of an individual who develops psychosis as a child. There are three interlocutors: Julia (a child who developed a psychotic disorder in childhood), Alice (a character from the Alice in Wonderland story) and Lacan‟s study of an individual and the individual‟s psychosis. Through Julia it is possible to understand how an individual, whose psychosis developed in childhood, is constituted. The time factor during the process is taken into account. The subject will be analyzed based on Freud and Lacan‟s theories. In addition to the topic of desire and language the concepts of drive, trauma and the pleasure principle are taken into account. Interacting with Lacan‟s theories the perspective that will be followed is that instead of psychosis constituting language, psychosis becomes a singular means of linking experiences. It will be argued that this inversion is fundamental in understanding how an individual is uniquely constituted. The individual is therefore understood Symbolically (through language), through Reality (the pleasure principle and drive) as well as through the Imaginary (the body-ego) and are consistent. Finally, when psychosis develops in childhood, it results in a fragile individual, sustained by a mended or patchwork ego. The individual is therefore confronted by traumatic pleasure principle thus finding her or himself in the situation of the character Alice, in Alice in Wonderland. In other words, the researcher loses self in the research process and reinvents the self as the subject-researcher.
