Sigmund Freud, from psychoprophylaxy to psychoanalytically clarified education: one path

There were not few opportunities that Freud made comments on education and this diversity, which still supplies gone and comings about his texts, with the intension of elucidating the one that may have been his supposed "thesis" about the subject. By the present work we try to describe and analyze the assumptions and the contributions by this psychoanalyst in the field of education, from his elaborations about infantile sexuality and the pulsional organization. We intend to demonstrate that Freud abandons, throughout his work, the ideal of a psychoprophylactic education even remains expecting "another education", less repressive and more sublimed.
