Pathologies based on repression are typical of a neurotic structure, (with better developmental outcome), while pathologies based on dissociation are of more severe, often borderline nature, as in Otto Kernberg’s borderline organization (1975). Neurobiology of attachment and affect regulation theory (Allan Schore), developmental psychopathology (Giovanni Liotti) and contemporary relational psychoanalysis (Philip Bromberg), all provide clinical evidence that the most severe psychopathology is of dissociative structure. This paper clarifies the after-effects of first level of traumatization of human agency (i.e., lack of attunement) and of the second level as in cases with actual abuse, maltreatment or incest (Mucci, 2013), with the internalization of a dyad victim/persecutor within the self of the survivor, as seen in borderline psychopathology (Mucci, 2018).

Un momento importante di questo passaggio è rappresentato dal modello di trauma e frammentazione della personalità proposto da Ferenczi in disaccordo con Freud. L’attuale riscoperta della dimensione traumatica alla base di molte patologie e della dissociazione come diretta conseguenza dell’esperienza traumatica ha portato a una nuova clinica del trauma, relazionale e intersoggettiva, ben rappresentata dagli studi clinici e teorici di Bromberg
