Intervenciones freudianas sobre el problema de la nerviosidad: la neurosis de angustia como crítica al paradigma neurasténico de la modernidad de George M. Beard

Abstract: El presente artículo analiza la crítica freudiana a la categoría de neurastenia, propuesta por George Beard. Primeramente, se exponen las hipótesis de Beard que asocian nerviosidad, civilización moderna y neurastenia; luego, se identifica la concepción freudiana de nerviosidad implicada en la categoría de neurosis de angustia. Al refutar los postulados de Beard, Freud no sólo hará un aporte a la psicopatología de su época, sino que otorgará un nuevo fundamento a la nerviosidad moderna.

From an etiological perspective, “Freud by contrast elevated sexuality, which had until then been deemed no more than an occasional element, to the status of a ‘true’ cause.…”
