The Author considers the concept of Primal Repression and examines its importance in the psychic apparatus formation. At first he discusses about some choices made in the translation of the most famous freudian definition of this concept, in particular about the instinctual ideational representative and about the concept of fixation of instinctual excitement, underlining the pre-representative nature of instinctual representative. Then he considers the concept of fixation not only as a metapsychological element but also as a factor in the objectual-relation model. Presenting clinical material in which there is an excess of fixation, the Author considers these freudian metapsychological concepts and relates them with the glance and mirroring process, both in primary relationship and in analytical relation.

Abstract

The Author considers the concept of Primal Repression and examines its importance in the psychic apparatus formation. At first he discusses about some choices made in the translation of the most famous freudian definition of this concept, in particular about the instinctual ideational representative and about the concept of fixation of instinctual excitement, underlining the pre-representative nature of instinctual representative. Then he considers the concept of fixation not only as a metapsychological element but also as a factor in the objectual-relation model. Presenting clinical material in which there is an excess of fixation, the Author considers these freudian metapsychological concepts and relates them with the glance and mirroring process, both in primary relationship and in analytical relation.
