| Sumario: | Sigmund Freud’s proposal of a death drive represents a crucial theoreticalapproach to aim at understanding some of the difficulties that we might encounter in clinicalpractice. In Beyond the Pleasure Principle, Freud postulates a repetition compulsionthat can be identified as death drive, a repetition that acts in the persistence to engravesomething, as an attempt to symbolize a probable trauma.He realizes that something does not meet the pleasure principle, examines the repetitivedreams in traumatic neurosis –which contradict this principle–, and asks himselfwhy is there an exception. There exists a replacing function, that of the pleasureprinciple, but there also exists a repetitive function. What does this mean from theperspective of the pleasure principle, the inexhaustibility of this reproduction? It is fromthese questions that we will try to develop this paper, defining our practice as scope andstarting point for consideration. |
