MORENO, Maria Manuela Assunção  y  COELHO JUNIOR, Nelson Ernesto. Trauma: o avesso da memóriaTrauma: the reverse of memory. Ágora (Rio J.) [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.1, pp. 47-61. ISSN 1516-1498.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1516-14982012000100004.

The present essay comprises an interrogation to psychoanalysis theory on the consequences of trauma in the psychic role of memory, based on the works of Sigmund Freud, Sandor Ferenczi e Nicolas Abraham e Maria Torok. We state that the traumatic subverts the psychic registry of events. The paradoxical image of trauma as the reverse of memory intends to offer a symbolism to this subversion, indicating the change in the direction of the psychic cathexis.
