There are no publications in Bulgarian language so far sheding light on this early model. This article is outlining the basic concepts of the trauma-affect model: early traumatic experience, anxiety, unbearable ideas, defence, neurotic symptom, catharsis, as well as some modern interpretations of the model based on the contemporary models of human memory.
