In this interview, Sonia Chiriaco tells us about the way she chose to speak of Psychoanalysis via trauma. From the dread which petrifies the subject, to the enlivening by the word; this exchange shows us the way in which a psychoanalyst takes the word to show that Psychoanalysis gives the subject a place of enunciation, far from the reductive perspective of ‘’Victimology’’. Sonia Chiriaco is a psychoanalyst in Paris, a member of the ECF and the WAP. Her book Le Désir foudroyé. Sortir du par la psychanalyse traumatisme was published by Editions Navarin-Champ Freudien in October 2012.
