ABSTRACT
Claudia Lucía Borensztejn’s (Chapter 12) contribution presents a review of different perspectives deriving from the reading of Freud’s classic article. She sheds light over the impact of this within the post-Freudians, especially by showing how it became part of the Klein and Anna Freud controversies as well as in the developments of Isaacs, Heinmann, Fairbairn, and Hinshelwood. She also focuses on the repercussions that this had on authors of the Argentinean Psychoanalytical School, such as Racker, Rascovsky, and more recently, Cosentino, with his comparative and translated edition into Spanish of the original manuscript of The Ego and The Id.
