Abstract
In this text, I will present reflections on the relationship between individual trauma and collective trauma and the consideration of the pandemic as both a natural and a social catastrophe in which damage to health is added to damage in the rupture of social and relational bonds. Vicissitudes that Argentine families, particularly those in Buenos Aires, went through during the compulsory lockdown and the work of psychoanalysts both in remote analysis with children and parents, as well as in interventions proposed for the community will be presented. Theoretical and conceptual descriptions will be offered together with examples from clinical material and community institutional experiences and collected data.
