GONCALVES, Fabrício de Siqueira  y  CAROPRESO, Fátima Siqueira. Aggressiveness in the early stage of Freudian theory. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2022, vol.54, n.1, pp. 229-254. ISSN 0101-4838.

Throughout his theory, Freud sought to understand and explain the human being's aggressive and hostile manifestations. We can divide these explanations into three phases. In the first one, from the beginning of his writings until 1913, the link between aggressive manifestations and sexual instincts is emphasized. In the second phase, from 1914 to the texts that precede "Beyond the pleasure principle" (1920), the aggressive manifestations arising from the ego-instincts are emphasized. In the third phase, from 1920 until the end of Freud's work, aggressive manifestations are thought, above all, as derived from the death instinct. In this article, we focus our attention on the first phase of Freud's theorization on aggressiveness, discussing how the author conceived aggressive manifestations in this period. Most publications on aggressiveness in Freud's work address the author's ideas since 1920, so his previous conception on the subject remains unclear, which justifies the present work.

Palabras clave : Freudian theory; aggressiveness; first instinctual duality; empowerment instinct; sadism.
