The Trauma Clinic: A Brief Comment

Abstract

Tiago Sanches Nogueira and Miriam Debieux Rosa

The present text aims to promote reflections about the trauma clinic. It is a treatment practice conceived within the psychological care of refugee immigrants, marked by the silencing that comes from the fixation in the traumatic moment. Such practice requires unconventional interventions that can symptomatize this deadly silence and convey the experience of loss produced by the trauma of displacement/uprooting. We propose a few questions regarding the ethos of the trauma clinic, at the same time as we present some Freudian indications for the understanding of the operation of this traumatic moment. Both authors authorize the publication of this study.
