ABSTRACT:
Trauma and death drive in Ferenczi. In this article we intend to search in the work of Ferenczi (texts and notes published in his Journal) the evidence of his detachment from Freud's guidelines regarding the death drive. Thus we hope to show that with Ferenczi a clinic focused on the early relationships of the self with its primary objects is unveiled, paving the way for rethinking the role of the object in psychic constitution. Therefore, we discuss his concept of introjection as well as his considerations about the pathological trauma.
