2. Bibliographic review In order to have a better understanding of the concept of trauma I resorted to one of the most important authors in relation to its study who is Sigmund Freud. He marked the beginning of a new understanding of the human mind with his theories about the unconscious, the psyche and the dream analysis, among others.
