COELHO JUNIOR, Nelson Ernesto; MOLIN, Eugênio Canesin Dal  y  CROMBERG, Renata Udler. On brutal gestures: trauma, destruction, and forms of psychic illness. J. psicanal. [online]. 2019, vol.52, n.96, pp. 197-211. ISSN 0103-5835.

From an experience narrated by Milan Kundera, we try to present two forms of psychic illness (by activation and by passivation) and relate them to the model proposed by Green to think a depressive state due to passivation. We believe that the intricacy between the drives of destruction and the libido, even when it generates brutal fantasies or gestures, may prove to be an episodic attempt of active defense amid the predominance of passivation generated by posttraumatic helplessness.

Palabras clave : helplessness; trauma; depressive state due to passivation; André Green; death drive.
