Abstract:
Based on Ferenczi's ideas, this article explores aspects of the dynamics of "trauma" and its effects on psychic functioning. The discussion focuses on two concepts: shock (or commotion) as an initial disruptive event and the process of psychic repercussion, which may culminate in a movement of creation. Through conceptual figures, I argue that the transformation of traumatic experiences into creative productions is essential and frequent, especially when these experiences are shared and acknowledged by the environment.
