Trauma, Creativity, Destructiveness, TotalitarismAbstract
The authors present an investigative intent on the phenomenology of traumas happened during the first years of life in two different groups of famous people. One group is made of well-known characters inside the political history of the world for their responsibility in totalitarian systems or dictatorship like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Castro and Hussein, besides Che Guevara who was a leftist warrior but didn’t en up establishing a dictatorship. In the second group personalities like, Beethoven, Gandhi, Einstein and Picasso are studied. As traumatic early experience are considered those circumstances that make a temporary event become a permanent fact that then repeats itself indefinitely, determining what Bion has called the “real part of projective indentification”.
