The trauma of birth is a psychological concept developed by Otto Rank, who argues that at the basis of any psychopathological development there is an untold traumatic experience at birth (Freud, who claims that each disease is due to a failure / defective overcoming of the Oedipus complex).
This vision implies an original hypothesis: fetal psychic life. This birth trauma would repeat with varying intensity for each separation act.
This assertion is no longer heavily supported by the major currents of contemporary psychology, due to widespread doubts about the extent to which babies can form memories, the effect of such memories on their personality, and the the ability to recover memories supposed to be repressed.
