ABSTRACT
Ethics are rooted in the inter-subjectivity of the familial, including the primary objects, and by extension cultural context, a claim that naturally holds true regardless of on which side of the subject-object relationship one is positioned. In turn sophisticated or naive, confessional or analytic, such author's accounts provide a platform from which to raise a wide range of interdisciplinary issues concerning the subject-object balance. Analysis of trauma in the light of feelings of belonging necessarily implies analysis of how social interaction is established as well as detecting the indicators of its disturbance. By breaking this basic trust between humans, trauma disrupts close bonds, precipitates mutual blame or mistrust and creates barriers to intimacy. From birth on every human being experiences the existence of another absolutely necessary (m)other offering primary concern; his or hers first emotional 'container'. The patient will then try to confirm this scenery emotionally as well as behaviourally in the form of a transference reaction.
