FRANCA, Cassandra Pereira. The pain not expressed in words, caused by sexual abuse and parental alienation. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.3, pp.75-87. ISSN 0486-641X.

The strong reactions of children to "structuring trauma" (exogenous factors that, despite interference with the psychic apparatus, are essential to their constitution) create a de-mand for analysis. However, there are "disruptive traumas" that hinder the possibility of psy-chic representation and symbolization processes such as sexual abuse and parental alienation. The former is capable of leaving scars inscribed on the body that cannot be represented and irreversible consequences in the subject's narcissism and self-esteem. However, the war be-tween the parental couple (when involving false accusations of sexual abuse) has the potential for even greater psychic devastation, as it can provoke a double denial" and steal the ambigu-ous meaning of the child's words and imprison them in a single meaning. Thus, the child discovers, with great pain, that language can translate both the truth and the false, causing him or her to lose "trust in oneself " and fall into a state of mental alienation.

Palabras clave : trauma; parental alienation; sexual abuse; word; child analysis.
