A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON TRAUMA FROM RELATIONAL PSYCHOANALYSIS

Abstract

Given the importance of the concept of trauma in the theoretical developments of psychoanalysis, I propose to approach the traumatic from relational psychoanalysis. From the complexity paradigm, I explore the different conceptualizations within psychoanalysis to recover the value of the environment in the traumatic experience, relativizing the endogenous perspective of the drive factor. To do this, I take an artistic expression such as the movie The Lost Daughter (Gyllenhaal, 2021). I focus on the character of Leda and the theme of trauma as a clinical exercise.
