From Trauma to Possible Therapeutic Paths

Issue 5 : April, 2013
ISBN : 9782749236803


It is often quite difficult to establish the traumatic value of an event. Is the traumatic effect immediate or delayed, is its origin internal or external, is the traumatic event reality or fantasy, is its irruption organizing or disorganizing, is it the event itself or its idea that is out-bursting? In all these situations, trauma is a break in the development of things, a breakage in the continuity of exchanges and relationships, but also a split in time. Trauma is that specific event which the Ego cannot enclose, an event without time frame in that it is constantly present but cannot find its place in memories within a psychic temporality. It is imposed by reminiscences, flashes, anguishes, stories told in present time… It will only be the elaboration in the aftermath that will help it become a story; finally become an event and a memory.

But the clinical navigation is often dangerous in the traumatic world! It is often quite difficult to appreciate the ground on which the clinician ventures: cold ground, warm ground? At the two extremes, we can meet burning transgressions and at the other pole the absences and freezing deficiencies or even the confrontation to the cold rawness of death. The pathway is so narrow that we can easily understand how care, if it wants to be restorative, also holds within a potential trauma. This issue is the pursuit of the clinical thoughts brought up in the previous one From Loss to Renunciation (October 2011). This time it questions more specifically the Possible Therapeutic Paths that can be developed in institutions: clinical working-out, individual and/or familial interventions, quantified evaluations, protective alarms, mediation…
