LIBERMANN, Zelig. My encounter with Freud and Green: from drives to borderline states. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2013, vol.47, n.3, pp. 69-78. ISSN 0486-641X.

In the introduction of his book On Private Madness, André Green claims that he writes, among other reasons, as a result of his desire to organize experience and as an expression of his search for truth in the affiliation with Freud. A broader contact with his work reveals that Green remained faithful to these goals during his entire path. Many of his texts, where there is an absence of case reports, exude what he calls clinical thought. On top of this, he is the contemporary psychoanalyst who best articulated Freud's thinking with modern day psychoanalysis (always in a conduct of tribute and questioning), pointing out the presence of Freudian ideas in the understanding of the initial periods of psychic life and of borderline individuals considered to be the typical patients of our time. In the face of the diversity of themes presented by his vast body of works, I chose, in this work, to touch upon some of Green's ideas on the Freudian concept of drive and its clinical application in cases of borderline patients.
