Abstract
Psychotrauma is undoubtedly one of the most equivocal, ambiguous and enigmatic concepts in psychiatry and psychoanalysis. This is due to the ambiguity of its confluence at the meeting point of inner and outer, the dynamics of excess, rupture and loss, its function of anxiety and defense, and its capacity for penetration. The objective of this text is to recall the main points put forward in relation to the question of psychotrauma as a disease of memories and emotions, a disease of the relation to the self, and a disease of narrative function. The author seeks to emphasize the impact that such traumatic events can have, both in terms of organization and disorganization, on the psychological functioning of any subject.
