MENDES JUNIOR, Antonio Dégas  e  FLORSHEIM, David Borges. Psychoanalysis and conflict: a dialogue between Freud and Reich. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.44, pp. 25-45. ISSN 1413-6295.

This article highlights the different emphases given to cultural or constitutional determinants of psychic conflict in the works of Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Reich. To this end, it revisits the development of Freudian drive theory and the extrapolation of the clash between Eros and Thanatos to the scope of life in society. As a counterpoint, it presents the main conjectures of Reich, such as the theory of character and the somatic bases of neuroses, which led him to understand the psychic conflict as a by-product of a modus vivendi that denies the basic needs of the biopsychological unit.
