MATTOS, André Santana. The genesis of the concept of resistance in psychoanalysis. TransForm. Psicol. (Online) [online]. 2010, vol.3, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 2176-106X.

In this essay, it is explored the conditions in which the concept of resistance was constituted in psychoanalysis. To investigate the genesis of the concept, the author made a bibliographic research on the first writings of Freud, where it was acknowledged different uses of the word 'resistance', presented as 'resistance of the disease', 'resistance of the organism', 'resistance to hypnosis and suggestion', 'the constitution of the psychoanalytical concept' and 'the neurological conception'. Standing from these different conceptions of resistance that lived together in the thought of Freud, the author discusses in what measure we can outline a genealogy of this concept, suggesting that it gathers characteristics of all the different uses made by Freud of the word, which had their influence in the constitution of the psychoanalytical concept of resistance. The author also brings to consideration the legitimacy of resistance on psychoanalysis and its relation to the binomial health-disease.
