In response to the basic traumatic neurosis, the psyche set up a state of infantile amnesia between the extinctive drive tendency and the perception of lacks; hence the animistic correlations between the contents of the amnesia and the perceived tangible realities, with the possibility of putting them into latency. The traumatic factor is an effect of the extinctive tendency of every drive and the inoperative character of the imperatives involved in the realization of the regressive modalities of psychic work.
