Abstract This work emphasizes the deadly repetition as a psychic violence revealed by the issue of trauma. This theme is particularly important for the clinic of borderline cases. The Freudian idea that combines trauma and sexuality has existed since the beginnings of psychoanalysis. But are there different focuses along its work? How they can be related to borderline cases clinic? We are guided by the Freudian text called Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920) and by Andre Green's propositions on the subject, which concern: The Neutral, objectifying and deobjectfying functions and negative narcissism. From the moment Freud complexifies the notion of trauma so it evidences an excess of external stimuli and instinctual that cannot be part of the chain of psychic representation, Freud also reveals a particular mode of objectual-love: the pair sadismmasochism. But while this pair is still expression of Eros, Green's Neutral concept is the expression of what he calls negative narcissism. In both cases, the traumatic is a requirement of presentification.

Keywords : borderline; trauma; negative narcissism.
