GRACA, Fatima Regina Flórido Cesar de Alencastro  y  FIGUEIREDO, Luís Cláudio Mendonça. The frozen heart: psychic survival strategies against severe trauma. J. psicanal. [online]. 2018, vol.51, n.95, pp.73-88. ISSN 0103-5835.

The present article proposes the presentation of the idea of freezing as a metaphor for insensitivity and anesthesia against early trauma, understanding it within the context of a clinic of cleavage, deterioration due to apassivation and narcissistic pathologies. As an illustration, we present the report of a case of a patient, here called Cecília, describing her illness and activated defenses, highlighting the "energetic neutralization" of Roussillon, facing a situation of extreme helplessness experienced in early childhood. Faced to what we call the scission clinic and the illnesses by apassivation, we are called to reflect on the necessary therapeutic strategies that accompany not only the cushioned parts but also the egoic resources of the patient.

Palabras clave : freezing; anesthesia; impotence; helplessness; primary trauma.
