Abstract

This work purports to revisit the notion of death instinct within a theoretical framework based upon Balint’s theory of the basic fault, Ferenczi’s late studies on the relational con-texts of identification processes and Green’s reflections on the work of the negative. Cross-ing these three perspectives it is possible to claim that the unconscious vector of the trans-generational transmission of trauma is the condition in which the basic fault area constitutes a fundamental element of the intersubjective field. The joint unconscious work of the basic fault area and negative identifications breeds processes of instinctual defusion, split and ide-alisation that free significant amounts of death instinct, hate and envy which constitute in-sidious nuclei of destructiveness. The effectiveness of these hypotheses is proved through the exam of two clinical cases.
