MEDEIROS, Clarice    FORTES, Isabel. Trauma and injury: some articulations in psychoanalysis. []. , 52, 1, pp.133-154. ISSN 0101-4838.

The aim of this work is to articulate injury and trauma from a psychoanalytic theory viewpoint. Trauma is defined both by the gap left in the psychic chain and by the excess drive, which lead to sequels in the subject's history. We emphasize the subjective character of trauma, removing it from a scientific interpretation of what could be objectifiable and from the realm of reality. Thus, the traumatic character of an event is ascribed also by the subject. Therefore, we emphasize the lesion as a real element that the subject incorporates, which at once disorganizes the psychic economy and reconfigures it.
