O suicídio em Freud

Resumo

This thesis is a theot-etical study of suicide from a psychonanalytical perspective. Our main purpose was to obtain a comprehensive view of the unconscious motivations involved in selfdestructive processes through a revision of the remarks found in Sigmund Freud's work, connecting them with an ordering of Freudian thought relative to the development of his ideas about suicide. In this observations and basically, connected to with early writings we the contributions the idea that the unconscious guilt find only a few scattered of the next years refer basically, to the idea that the selfdestructive feelings and impulses are connected with unconcscious guilt feeling and the need for selfpunishment arsing from unconscious hate directed to loved persons, as well as unconscious death wishes against them. When Freud introduced concepts like narcissism, primary identification and the ego ideal, we see that he managed to enrich his theoretical concept ions, linking melancholy and selfdestruction. The emergence of the idea of a death drive, and the changes which this concept brought to his theories about suicide are then studied; as well a s the new ideas about repetition compulsion, a bout drives as an expression of the conservative nature of human beings, about drive fusion and the economic problem of masoquism. The extreme complexity of this phenomenon leads to the conclusion that, despite the metapsychological contribuitions that enable us to understand the unconscious nature of selfdestructive acts, it is indispensable, in individual case studies, to adopt a perspective that also consider s the singularity of the motivations involved in the impulse that drives us to our own death. The individual story, the social-cultural context and the social view of suicide, colours the singular, specific, and idiosynchratic selfdestructive acts, accessible to the analysis by means of psychoanalytical insights.
