Abstract

The author starts the presentation of her paper, ofering a brief on some of Freud's ideas on the uncouncious, developed during his work. The notion of Substantive Uncounscious and of Adjetive Uncouncious is proposed and examined considering Freud's, Klein's and finally in the work of W. Bion. Some aspects that prevailed and seem to be important in the work of these authors are taken in consideration,always having in mind dinamyc, plastic and estrutural caractheristics, in the notion of uncounscious. In the consideration of Bion´s ideas his controbutions to the theory of dreams is emphatized since this point is relevant to his notion of uncouncious. In the end the author proposes the importance of considering new contribuitions to the subject.
