This article presents theoretical study that shows the effects of sexual violence during childhood according to Sándor Ferenczi ((1873-1933) - psychoanalyst of the Freud's first generation disciples - that gave a great importance to the sexual trauma and to the role of an adult in building the infantile psychism. Originated from the clinical impasses he had faced, his contributions allowed us to guess the richness of his analytical listening, which has made the psychic movement subtleties easier to be noticed, marked in these cases by splitting actions. This way, privileging one of the most important articles by this same author, published in 1933, "Confusion of Tongues between Adults and the Child", we will follow the theoretical elaborations that led to the description of two psychic splitting destinations: identification with the aggressor and the traumatic progression or precocious maturity, ferenczian theoretical contributions to be used for a clinical reflexion.
