Psychic figuration and representation in post-traumatic and psychotic disorders.

Starting from a systematic study of relevant theoretical and clinical papers in the field of psychoanalysis we on the one address the problem of figuration of traumatic experience, exploring links with Freud's theories of binding and representation and contemporary studies of attachement, mentalization, and symbolization. On the other hand we examine psychic figuration and representation in psychic mental processes.
