This article intends to examine the role of analogy in the Freudian thought. With this in mind we will visit a very hectic and productive period in the psychoanalytical movement. This period was marked by the divergences between Freud and Jung, by the expansion of the applied psychoanalytical movement between Freud and his disciples, and by the analytical work of the Wolfman (which might be considered Freud's most important case). This period marks a huge field of clinical and theoretical debates, among which the problem of analogy in theory and in clinical psychoanalysis is undoubtedly included.
