title: [From virginity to mysticism].
abstract: Through a clinical observation illustrated with a borderline state described by Bergeret and in a variety of nervous breakdown, the problem of narcissism is set through the quest for an ultimate and an idealization. With the arrival of a late and disorganizing traumatism, is realized an exchange between a narcissic ideal (pureness/virginity) and a megalomaniac one (mysticity). It is the punctual established fact of a cure of a narcissic loss (loss of virginity) by a narcissic recival (God). Virginity represents the main concept of an original ideal by with are established the different axes of a narcissic problem: sexuality-death-religion, where every word seems to have several meanings through these three values.
