In this article, the author appreciates the metapsychological constructions derived from this Freudian text, emphasizing the theories of Sándor Ferenczi, Donald Winnicott, André Green and Michael Balint, as well as the clinical aspects regarding the analyst's position in listening to such cases in which predominates the circulation of the death drive.
