The restructuring interventions of the setting deploy the force of Eros. They counteract and bind the effects of the death drive that ensue from attacks on the setting or in the sadistic or masochistic impasses of an analytic treatment. The example of such an intervention in a psychoanalytic psychodrama, following those set out in the articles by R.?Ass?o, J.'?L.?Baldacci, and A.?Rosenberg, provides a path to an analytic process that was previously inaccessible. Based on its effects, a hypothesis can be formulated about the constitution of the archaic superego. Accordingly, as an enduring offshoot of the unconscious, it is constituted of a mixture of the death drive and early libidinal fixations, which are all modified by post'?oedipal revisions.
