Abstract
This article is a reflection on experiences of a psychoanalyst in the context of the Psychosis Therapy Project (PTP), which is a psychoanalytic clinic of psychosis that delivers talking and art therapy services in deprived communities across inner-city London. The author argues in favour of the analyst's truthful relation to the analysand's experiences by discussing Freud's notion of truthfulness and by offering a clinical vignette.
