- Abstract
- (en) The aim of this article is to analyse the account of a Jewish woman who was hidden as a child in Belgium, and who thus survived Nazi extermination during the Second World War. The clinical material was gathered using the method of life story telling, and analysed according to the methodology of case studies on the basis of psychoanalytic theories. This case shows itself to be particularly enlightening for our understanding of the inscription of the first psychic traces in a newborn baby who experienced several early separations during the Shoah. Separated at 18 months of age from her parents, the subject conserved a psychic trace of this early separation, demonstrating the presence of an early subjective experience. The psychic inscription of these traumatic events and the re-experiencing of this trace today, can be explained by the phenomenon of differed action (Freud, 1895).
