This study aim sat examining different demonstrations of delirium in the novel entitled « In those arms » written by Camille LAURENS, a French contemporary writer. Since the genesis of Doubrovsky autofiction is psychoanalysis and surrealism, this autofiction will be the main tool to study delirium at the level of « a freed language ». The delirium allowing to see a rhizome where are telescoped content and form in order to create an opacity of the meaning are linked essentially to the writer's interior life. The language in all its forms will therefore be the field of investigation of the ailments that Camille suffers from. The narrator and writer artfully transforms her writing page into an allegoric couch in which her sorrows are translated.
