ABSTRACT
The hypothesis of somato-psychical integration, thanks to the quality of response from the human psychical environment in those early days, is already present in what Freud says in that extract, and it is linked to the idea of prematuration. In Moses and Monotheism, expectation involved someone who did not appear on the scene—"the great father"—whereas here there is a waiting for "something" which, by its very nature, cannot provide the expected satisfaction. The somatic enclaves remain alien to psychical life. They are somatic elements that, outside of any psychical link, may function as primitive elements of communication with the primary bodily environment. The author proceed to the following aetiological representation: the traumatic moment has awakened the bodily memory of an early catastrophe experienced at that time in terms of primitive agony. Through regression, the primitive defence is again called upon, over-determined by anality in its relation to the muscle structure.
