René Roussillon, La Fonction Intégrative du Rêve

Abstract: This article is available in French only. My reflections on the dream part in what is one of my areas of clinical exploration in psychoanalysis, the narcissistic-identity issues and their psychoanalytic treatment. What is placed at the heart of their cure is the matter of integrating the narcissistic trauma and particularly the integration of the early narcissistic trauma, which we are to discuss further below. Their psychic inscription was made at a time before the domination and organization under the primacy of verbal language. Therefore, those who are marked by forms of repetition “beyond the pleasure principle” and largely fail to enroll in it.
