The authors present some aspects of their experiences in the treatment of two psychotic patients. The first case suffered from hallucinatory mystical delusions and the second from delusional hypochondria and erythrophobia. Since these cases were followed through regular supervision during their novice analysts' psychoanalytic training, the usefulness of this kind of treatment for the development of current psychoanalytic practice is emphasized.
