Abstract

We suggest in this research to provide a new approach for the prevalence of the use of the suicidal act within the homosexual population. Indeed, from the Lucas's clinical and projective case, a suicidal young homosexual, we have identified that the repetition of the passages by the suicidal act masked old traumas so putting, in reality, in the background the problem of the sexual orientation as causal factor and initiator of the suicidal acts. We strength of the traumas experienced during Lucas's childhood, their updating in the psychic economy on the identity and sexual development, and highlighted their psychic renewal. We propose then the assumption that the suicidal attempt and homosexuality could be in fact indicative of early traumas. © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS
