Masoquismo: de la culpa inconsciente a la necesidad de castigo

Abstract

This paper begins by inquiring for the “subjective positions” toward abuse given by the paternal or maternal Other during childhood. This question considers those settings where child expose to be attacked by the Other, this way; a revision of the masochism Freudian theory is carried out, because of its concepts allowing to think about this phenomenon. A path to be followed has been tracked into three momentums: at a first place masochisms as a secondary issue, emerging as a turned-self sadism; secondly masochism as sadism deriving by a guiltiness conscience effect; and finally, the masochism theory fundamental straighten up, when it comes to be considered as an origin where moral and erogenous masochism are secondly.
