El hallazgo freudiano y su potencia en la clínica psicoanalítica actual.

The author stands to discern what, in his view, was Freud's main finding on psychical functioning more than a century ago. With that aim, he first deals with the subject of suggestion, retrieving Freud's idea, in his article Lines in Advance in Psychoanalytic Therapy (1919), according to which "it's very likely that in applying our therapy to the masses we will need to alloy the pure gold of psychoanalysis with the copper of direct suggestion". He then tries to conceptually differentiate direct suggestion, a term coming from hypnosis approaches, from suggestion such as it was used from the start of psychoanalytic method to date. The former approach gave the patient the commandment of forgetting the traumatic event, while the latter used suggestion to stimulate the patient to resolve potential transferences. In the second part of the article, the author discusses the correlation between transference, compulsion to repeat and remembering. With examples taken from some of Freud's technical papers, he underlines that the intimate relation between memories and their transference deployment is present throughout Freud's work. A detailed reading of Chapter III of Beyond the pleasure principle allows the author to search into the concept of agieren, understood as a compulsive enactment of the unconscious. The agieren emerges clinically when repression is diminished, meaning that the analytic work has already went over half the way to find it. Finally, based on the clinical material of a patient in individual analysis, an attempt is made to exemplify in what way the compulsion to repeat is put by the unconscious ego, with its obstinate drive to repress, at the service of the pleasure principle. The sense of that obstinate repression manifested as a compulsion to repeat is to avoid coming in touch with some early childhood events which left a permanent scar in the patients sense of self.
