Abstract

RIBEIRO, Maria Mazzarello Cotta. Echoes of the pandemic: what becomes traumatic and how is that dealt with?. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2021, n.56, pp.105-112. ISSN 0100-3437.

This article aims to elucidate what causes an event to constitute a psychic trauma for one person and not for others, and what determines its overcoming. We considered traumatic moments experienced by Freud and we witnessed different psychic positions in every experience. In his theory, as in Lacan's teachings, wehave sought for theoretical foundations that have led us to understand trauma as an update of first-time psychic marks that are re-signified in the current event. The traumaticityof sexuality and language, in the singularity of the human being, have led us to consider the performance of the sexual and death drive, in which the subject may suffer the stagnation of primordial helplessness, death, or a thrust to the word, to life. And in the end, the analytical space, be it face-to-face or virtual, supported by transference, provides the subject in suffering with recognition and a name for his pain, his trauma, and who knows, the possibilityto overcome it
