A repeti？？o e o Projeto de 1895: gérmen de um conceito

this article discusses the question of repetition in freudian theory. beginning with pre-psychoanalytic texts, we go back to the concept of the experience of pain, which confronts us with the problem of the repetition of displeasure. pain appears as a failure of protective mechanisms of the neuronal apparatus and indicates the existence of a process that, despite involving displeasure, continues to be repeated. the process also provides indications of the concept that, twenty years later, freud called compulsion to repetition.
