DAMOUS, Issa    KLAUTAU, Perla. Infant registers in adolescence: self-mutilation as very early traumas updating. []. , 48, 2, pp.95-113. ISSN 0101-4838.

In this article, we work the trauma concept, including the helplessness and instinctual issues, articulated to the precocious cumulative environmental failures, principally in its stimulant-containing function. Based on this theory context we add a clinical situation of self-mutilation in adolescence. In this way, we hope to find a messenger value to the act driven by the repetition compulsion that, despite of its desobjetalizing goal, can be understood as an update movement and an early trauma elaboration attempt.
