Children and psychic trauma: The narrative and a way of resilience
A significant number of children who visit this child psychiatric clinic with traumatic stories have prevented the formation of a transitional area to permit the creation of a mental space, differentiating real and imaginary and the possibility of creating a space for thought. If resilience allows a number of children to build their personality in these situations, for many they can only cling to what they actually perceive. Trauma is from the outset at the heart of the important psychoanalytic theory in Freud’s work, and is always articulated with excitement. How to help these children become resilient and overcome their trauma ? Psychotherapy and establishing specific words are often ineffective. The type of treatment that is directly inspired by psychoanalysis seems to us to be a very important response to today’s trauma clinic in every sense and therefore plays an important role.
Telling One’s Own Story as a Person: the Migrants and their Stories
This article is based on a thesis and a fieldwork inquiry about the different ways illegal migrants are being supported. In general, migrants are be told "like no one else", especially when they are seeking asylum and that they will have to prove their victimhood andsome related forms of violence they could have experienced. We defend in this article that the narrative identity is thus affected put to the test by an external injunction which requests to put its life story into both a narrative and a standardized format; injunction to which the supports satisfy to comply with what is expected. We argue that the narrativity of migrants looking for a legal statuteis as such confiscated. It would be rather by the use of falsehood that some migrants could regain their “ipseity” and could thus exist as a singular individual.
Are Stories Told by Refugees Fictions ?
The stories told by refugees may be studied in the same light as that used to examine those told by analysands as the two are similar in many ways. Both are accounts of suffering addressed to others, both are listened to, questioned and interpreted. They are a means of expressing one’s personal history as a part of History, somewhere between memory and resistance, reality and fantasy and such stories create a place of total freedom, in which the bonds between self and other may be rebuilt.
