Abstract

EIZIRIK, Cláudio Laks. Pulsion and compulsion. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.2, pp. 161-171. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author revises the concept of drive and repetition compulsion and examines them from meta-psychological, clinical and institutional points of views. He stresses in these three realms the contrast between the predominance of a monotonous and compulsory repetition and renewing and creative movements that can contribute to the vitality of psychoanalysis.

Keywords : Drive; Repetition compulsion; Contemporary psychoanalysis.
