The Case of Aimée concerned the Frenchwoman Marguerite Pantaine, who in 1931 attacked the celebrity actress Huguette Duflos; was hospitalised; and was treated by, and became the subject of the doctoral thesis of Jacques Lacan.

Thesis

By innovatively linking Aimée's actions to her life experience, Lacan was able to argue that her attack was in fact made against the (persecutory aspect of the) image of he own Ideal ego, carried out in a sort of narcissistic trance. Lacan used her "case" to develop a theory of self-punishing paranoia; in the process moving his thinking closer to that of psychoanalysis.
