PRADO, Luis Eduardo; COLABONE, Marta Raquel  and  VIDAL, Carolina. Introducing Victor Tausk. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2022, vol.54, n.1, pp. 202-228. ISSN 0101-4838.

This paper aims to situate Victor Tausk, classic author of psychoanalysis, within the psychoanalytic movement from historical analysis, through the interweaving of texts. Tausk, a lawyer, also worked with journalism and literature, writing poems, short stories, and plays; he meets Freud when he falls ill with a depression crisis. From then on, psychoanalysis became part of his personal and professional life. However, his suicide sent his name into limbo in the history of psychoanalysis, as if it had never existed. We reconstructed his biography, bring him from this place where he was and approached other elements necessary to constitute the map of his positions in the history of psychoanalysis. With these elements in hand, we present a clear idea of what were the ten years of his presence in the Vienna psychoanalytic movement. We hope that this article will bring the attentive reader a glimpse of this great psychoanalyst's life and work and spark his curiosity to seek to read him.

Keywords : Tausk; Freud; Andreas-Salomé; Correspondence; Minutes.
