Traumas and psychoanalytic intervention
a portrayal of COWAP Brazil’s support group’s emergency clinical work
Keywords:
Pain, Anguish, Affect, Violence, Psychoanalysis, Splitting, Death, SurvivalAbstract
The article aims to present the work of COWAP Brazil’s Support and Research Group (GAC), which was created with the objective of addressing and giving voice to the psychic pain of women who are victims of intrafamilial violence, via online support and through voluntary work undertaken by psychoanalysts and psychoanalysts in training from different regions of Brazil. These are traumatized patients who experience primary anguish and display a predominance of archaic defense mechanisms such as splitting and fragmentation, serving as a means of survival against the threats of psychic destruction and death. We verify, through the presentation of a clinical case, how traumatic experiences hinder representation and the use of free association. Taking this into account, we discuss these matters through the application of concepts advanced by Sándor Ferenczi in relation to the clinic of trauma. In the conclusion, the article underscores the importance of clinical group discussion, especially in cases where access is difficult.
