Abstract

This article examines the place of the other in the constitution of the psychic subject, whether through identification or through belonging to a bond. The ties with the primordial other are fundamental to psychic life, given the helpless condition of the newborn. The surrounding context can both promote and disrupt the development of subjectivity. Families with precarious symbolic, discriminatory, and alterity-recognition capacities tend to fail in two basic functions of the caregiving context: the antitoxic function and the production of an anti-stimulus layer (Freud, 1920/2003b). As a consequence, individuals are exposed to the risk of invasion by toxic and traumatic processes (Maldavsky, 1996).
