Sumario:We have conducted a search of critical reviews of the literature to elucidate questions arising from the author’s experience with the psychological clinic for “toxic” passions. We started from the “toxic” passions hypothesis, according to which a functional analogy exists between passions and toxicomanias: the function of narcissistic excess, similar, but not identical, in both. To be more precise, we proposed the hypothesis that,from the unconscious point of view, the excess narcissism would intoxicate both in passions and in toxicomanias. The objective was to justify this hypothesis. The plan for this study was: 1) To report and to question the history of the author’s professional experience, to deal with the clinical justifications; and 2) To discuss the theoretical basis of this history, to discuss the theoretical justifications. We have highlightedOlievenstein’s theorizations about the broken mirror stage, Delrieu’s assumptions about the history of toxicomanias in France and Le Poulichet’sformulations about “toxicomanias, farmakon operation and psychoanalysis”.
