JUNIOR, Nelson Ernesto Coelho. A Hungarian chapter of the history of psychoanalysis: The contributions of Ferenczi, Spitz, and Balint to the study of passive forms of mental illness. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2017, vol.51, n.3, pp. 213-226. ISSN 0486-641X.

In the history of psychoanalysis, one may recognize some forms of psychic disorders which can stiffen and worsen. As such, they interrupt health processes by causing intense regressions and severe mental disorganization. Therefore, it leads to the development of mental illnesses, which will be marked by severe interruptions in health processes. In some cases, extremely radical interruptions may happen very early in life. As a result, an area of the psyche will be isolated and become desert. In this paper, the reader will have no problem in recognizing the foundation of Ferenczi's thinking on the early trauma and his clinical description of passive defenses, with sensations of sinking and dying. Spitz's and Balint's ideas have also inspired this study.
