ABSTRACT
It is worth reiterating that when Sigmund Freud wrote the postscript to the analysis of "Dora", probably in January of 1901, he had a concrete idea of the nature of transference and of its importance, even though subsequently the development of this theory arrived at obscure and/or debatable points. Freud contrasts remembering and repeating, and one should not forget that if repetition occurs, it is because the memory is not there, as the latter is the antidote to the former. In this way, the concept of remembering is linked more clearly to that of experience, because it is precisely when one can make use of the mass of memories that one possesses experience. Lagache takes as a supporting point for his reasoning the psychology of learning or habit; and he has recourse to an experiment to explain the transference, the Zeigarnik effect.
