CASTIEL, Sissi Vigil; SIBEMBERG, Alexandra Dal Prá; FIRPO, Luciana Salgado  y  SILVA, Rosangela Maria Martins da. Defense and trauma: from the Project to the present. Ágora (Rio J.) [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.1, pp. 63-77. ISSN 1516-1498.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1516-14982012000100005.

Through the study of Freud's text Project for a scientific psychology (1895/1996), it becomes evident the way in which the statements of defense and trauma are related with Freud's statement about the hysteria at the beginning of his work and what their importance to understand today's psychopathology is.
