Silently, certain psychic processes combine to set up and maintain trust at times when the risk of violence threatens an analytic treatment. Thus, tertiary processes, the basic transference, and a degree of interpretive reserve can be deployed in the face of an imminent traumatic shock by facilitating the organising chains which range from masochism to neurotic reorganisation, passing via repeated deferred retroactive effects ( après-coups). They support the economic and dynamic evolution of these retroactive effects.
