The concept of the repetition and its importance for psychoanalytical theory. This paper aims to think some faces of the psychoanalysis's concept of the repetition, in a clinical and theoretical dimension. We will analyze, along with Freud, the relation between this concept and other concepts as memory, resistance, transference and acting out. Through the Lacan's thought, we will indicate the basic character of this term to the psychoanalytic knowledge, its relation to it with the concepts of Tiquê, Autômaton, object a and chain of signifier, and its approach with the Kierkegaardian's term, retaken. With Miller we will think the place of the anguish as the operator who produces a disarticulation in the commanded knotting, displayed in the phenomenon of the repetition.
