Abstract

HOLANDA, Ana Cláudia Lima  and  CHECCHIA, Marcelo Amorim. About the sexism on the first theories of the etiology of neuroses. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.44, pp. 163-176. ISSN 1413-6295.

The article compares how Sigmund Freud, Otto Gross, and Sabina Spielrein refer to women and men, the feminine and the masculine, and the binomial opposition of sadism and masochism. The objective is to locate historically conditioned sexist and patriarchal determinations in the early theories of the etiology of neuroses; and their survival in more recent uses and updates. The rereading of psychoanalysts contemporary to Freud who have been silenced and forgotten - but who recently returned from historical repression within the "official history of psychoanalysis" - allows us to consider how a patriarchal logic influenced the life and theories of early psychoanalysts.

Keywords : Masochism; Psychoanalysis; Sadism; Sexism.
