ABSTRACT

This paper offers an exploration of the notion of trauma, viewing it as an ‘elastic’ concept that has changed over time within psychoanalytic theory, including in child psychotherapy. There is an argument for a multi-faceted, developmental, individual way of viewing trauma, taking into account contemporary knowledge about psychic trauma while at the same time not losing sight of some psychoanalytic ideas that were central in the formation of the term. This paper argues for the importance of reclaiming and holding onto certain Freudian elements of what trauma means, including the idea that structural/ontological trauma in the course of human life is necessary and developmentally important, and is differentiated from historical trauma, which is linked to a particular event. These different ways of thinking about trauma are explored through presenting the work of French child psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto.

摘要

本文探讨了创伤的概念，将其视为一个“弹性”概念，随着时间的推移在精神分析理论中发生了变化，包括在儿童心理治疗中。有一种观点支持以一种多方面的、发展性的、个体化的方式看待创伤，考虑到当代关于精神创伤的知识，同时不要忽视一些在该术语形成中处于核心地位的精神分析思想。本文论证了恢复和坚持创伤的某些弗洛伊德元素的重要性，包括人类生命过程中的结构/本体论创伤是必要的和对发展很重要的想法，并与历史创伤区分开来，后者与一个特定的事件。
