title: [An insane dialogue].
abstract: How should madness and in particular delusional manifestations be considered? The caregiver's perception of delirium has an impact on how they view the function of the caregiver in psychiatry. Should delirium be suppressed? Delirium is an individual phenomenon but the themes are linked to social issues. Must we not take into account everyone's "thresholds" with regard to the place of delirium, in order to make it part of "living together". Two patients of a psychiatric care system discuss these issues.
