CASADORE, Marcos Mariani  and  PERES, Rodrigo Sanches. The concepts of trauma and regression in Sándor Ferenczi's work, and their possible articulations with the theoretical proposals of the Paris Psychosomatic School. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.2, pp. 122-135. ISSN 0486-641X.

This paper aims to discuss both concepts of trauma and regression in Sándor Ferenczi's work, and its possible connections with the proposals of the Paris Psychosomatic School, particularly those established by Pierre Marty. By bringing up the imbrication between soma and psyche in order to understand the genesis of trauma, angst, and the development of symptoms (symptoms without any representational content and associated to regressive movements), Ferenczi outlines a theory which is going to converge towards later progress in the field of psychoanalytic psychosomatics. Although Marty has never been known to read Ferenczi's work, we believe that there is a fruitful dialogue to be built between Ferenczi's latest theories and Marty's theoretical and clinical formulations. Therefore, we think it may be found certain Ferenczian roots, especially concerning both concepts of trauma and regression, in Marty's theoretical proposals, specifically those related to his ideas of operative thinking, progressive disorganization, and somatic regression.

Keywords : psychoanalytic psychosomatics; trauma; regression; Sándor Ferenczi; Pierre Marty.
