[Earthquakes in Mexico in 1985. Their psychological repercussions and intervention by psychoanalysts]. 1987

Y Martínez y Aguilar

Starting with a real event, the Mexican earthquake of 1985, this article describes a certain number of practices of Mexican psychoanalysts and their theoretical reflections which grew out of the experience of helping a disaster-struck population during a crisis period. The result of this intervention was that it enhanced the elaboration of the emotional and traumatic conflict created by this kind of natural phenomenon. This work, a; though not constituting a generalized practice within psychoanalysis, corroborates certain processes in Freud's second theory of drives.
