This article examines the psychic function of hatred in the context of sexual trauma, drawing on the psychoanalytic theory of destructiveness (Freud, Winnicott, Klein, Roisin). The discussion focuses on the clinical case of Simon, a father whose daughter was raped and who expresses murderous fantasies toward the perpetrator.The methodology is based on the analysis of clinical interviews conducted within a victim support association. This material makes it possible to explore how hatred unfolds in discourse, through fantasmatic expression, transgenerational resonances, and within the transference.The findings indicate that hatred, initially experienced as a raw and threatening drive, gradually gains psychic inscription through the therapeutic framework. It becomes thinkable and capable of being worked through via fantasmatic elaborations, the reactivation of personal and familial traumas, as well as creative mediations (songwriting). This process allows for the transformation of enacted hatred into represented hatred, thereby opening the way to a process of resubjectivation.In conclusion, the study highlights the role of the clinical setting as a third space of symbolization, enabling the containment and transformation of destructiveness, and linking individual traumatic experience to transgenerational transmissions.
