Based on the psychoanalytic treatment of patients with brain injury, it was possible to formulate the hypothesis that, in many cases, the psychopathological condition that sets in after the perception and experience of Sequelae from neurological illnesses can be centralized in a place between traumatic neurosis and the narcissistic-identity disorders. To support and illustrate the theoretical development of this hypothesis, we present a case in which the repetition compulsion is conveyed as a defense mechanism: the subjective experience of neurological illness is experienced as a traumatic blow that divides life between before and and after. The consequence of this is that resources for mental development are diverted, creating or intensifying non-integrated psychic areas. Therefore it is installed a temporality based on a permanent present, that is, in a time that does not fall behind nor provides a foot hold for what is to come

Keywords : Trauma; Traumatic neurosis; Narcissistic-identity disorders; Repetition compulsion.
