RESUMO

This master thesis aims to study the concepts of psychic presentation in Freudian theory, taking the interval from the 1890´s to the development of the first topographic model, in 1900, as its field of research. It is a study on psychoanalysis about the history of its concepts, using a method based on analysis and interpretation of Freuds texts. The early models of psychical apparatus have the presentational function of memory, understood as an associative net of mnemic-traces filled by inner energy, as a structural axis. This drive energy searches discharge according to the principle of constance, having the somatic or the psychical representative levels as a goal. This energetic-presentational hypothesis is one of the first theoretic devices of Freuds metapsychology, constituting its theory of presentation. The early steps towards this theory are presented, defining the concepts of affect and ideational representative, as well as the different types of the last one.The theoretic problem treated is the limit of the concept of presentation that is brought by the definition of the first topographic model, which is moved by unconscious wish-fulfilment. It is stated that this step, so necessary to the organization of Psychoanalysis as a separate field of knowledge, set aside important ideas about the non-presentational dimension of trauma. The hypothesis is that this shift establishes a first point of fixation to the theoretic revision which takes place in metapsychology with the 1920´s turnaround.
