The early disturbances in the mother-child relationship, during the primitive times of the psychic organization, involve the formation of the self. The distance between what we understand for somatic body and erogenous body entails the human essence. The meaningful other of primary care becomes essential. The outcome will be the constitution of the feeling of self, paradigmatic axis upon which ideas, thought, time and space will be organized. The therapeutic process of historical reconstruction of early experiences intends to organize the original real self and its representations.

Key words: mother - being - ego - essential other - primitive identifications - narcissism - somatic body - erogenous body - primitive defensesÊ
