MEDEIROS, Eduardo    PEIXOTO JUNIOR, Carlos Augusto. Trauma in Ferenczi and its unfoldings in the works of Balint and Winnicott: regressions under analysis and their clinical handling. []. , 52, 1, pp.271-298. ISSN 0101-4838.

This article aims to investigate the discussion of trauma theory from the theoretical-clinical contributions of Sándor Ferenczi and the developments and advances held by the theories of Michael Balint and Donald Winnicott. Thus, we intend to explore the proximities and the conceptual differences of these authors, especially in relation to the role of the environment in the traumatic experience, the primitive defenses that are put into action and the therapeutic aspect of the regressions under analysis. Besides this differentiation, we will try to extract from the modifications in the analytical setting proposed by these authors, elements that will help us to think about the clinical handling of patients whose suffering refers to traumatic failures in the early stages of development.
