`titrebThe “anti-mnemonic traces”. Assumptions about psychological trauma in children`/titrebExcept for infants and very young children, psychic trauma in a child, if we want to take into account its particular modes of expression such as games or drawing does not differ fundamentally in its semiotic expression from that of the adult. In both cases, we find the same words to describe what the victim has suffered to the point that can provide a complete glossary ! The same in children as in adults, repetition, sometimes compulsive, makes this unique event something that tends to repeat itself, which subsequently poses a major problem for psychiatrist which led S. Freud to be the first to redesign his theory regarding impulses. Because sometimes a trace of this trauma can, in retrospect, be affected by an event and become symptom, or in other cases it seems to persist in intangibly in the individual or if not later in their offspring ! How can one understand the effect of the traces left in neurocognitive functioning without it being a psychical transformation ? This is especially observed in trauma affecting the very young, at an age when, even without language, they seem to be prisoners of this development inability. The author proposes to call it “anti-mnemonic traces” because precisely the work of memory cannot be performed. These distinctions are not only academic, because they are of major interest in care guidance, the author remaining between the enigmatic gaps where an associative work can be performed on “anti-mnemonic traces”. However, the work is likely being doomed to failure if it is not relayed through guidance that is closer to the sensory perception.
