This article aims to launch a psychoanalytic viewpoint about the divorce process. As any separation, divorce is a traumatic event for the family, because not only can lead to revive traumatic situations experienced at an early stage, but exposes the former couple to a number of significant losses and generates an intense movement of pulsional energy. One of them is of especial interest for this study in particular. It is the loss of the links established around the infantile sexuality, i.e. the agreements of complicity, of intimacy, that organize this sexuality and satisfies it. The overflow of this polymorphic-perverse sexuality, when the marriage bond breaks, is analyzed, once, when it turns into excess, it can lead to psychological distress in the form of symptoms and actings, including towards the children. Is when the divorce can last forever and when the previous love relationship of the former couple is supplanted, for example, by a sadistic-erotic relationship, whose main objective is to keep the union at any cost, even if, for that, they adopt the most regressive models, as emotional blackmail, big fights in justice, jealousy etc. In these circumstances, not only the ex-partner, but also the children are invoked to deal with this excess of pulsional energy, which is presented as an enigma that requires a decoding and a new organization the sexual space. For this discussion, the theory of generalized seduction by Jean Laplanche is used.

Palabras clave : Divorce; psychoanalysis; generalized theory of seduction (TSG); infantile sexuality; fundamental anthropological situation.
