NETO, Esperidião Barbosa. Harrasment of the symbolic: the necessary trauma to the constitution of the subject. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2019, n.52, pp.69-76. ISSN 0100-3437.

The initial traumatic experience of the individual is foundational, from which emerges the subject. The construction of subjectivity begins with the Real of trauma, according to the Lacanian idea of Real, Symbolic and Imaginary as dimensions of psychic life. The position adopted in this article is that the inaugural trauma is the effect of harassment of the symbolic, traumatizing event, but necessary to the confirmation of the proper human. Our objective is to present the initial traumatic experience of the newborn as the first step of subjective construction and, consequently, the advent of the Law, considering what we will call “harassment of the symbolic”. First, we will discuss the subject's anteriority and its immersion in the language; then Harassment of the symbolic: rapture of the purely instinctive; finally, The Law: cutting a relationship that does not hold itself. The work is theoretical, reflections are nourished by clinical practice. It is concluded that all human action is even in the field of uncertainty as to the extent of its effects, the resonance of each act has repercussions on future generations. We reach the field of ethics and the bond, each existing is responsible for the psychic history of humanity, whether by preceding and caring for the new being or by positioning himself as a subject.

Keywords : Real-Symbolic-Imaginary; Inaugural Trauma; Real Trauma; Symbolic Harassment.
