Abstract. The article describes work with a couple who used dysmorphic and dysphoric mecha- nisms in relationship. The origin of these disorders and the type of connection are associated with dissociative, traumatic problems in the development of the Self, which contributes to the achievement of a psychotic level in the content and tension of the sensual-emotional connection. The material presents the linguistic features of the relationship, as well as the main spectrum of derivatives of the pathological connection. In the description of psychotherapeutic work focused on group dynamics, provides a theoretical basis for working with damaged connections in a couple.
