The term [[prohibition ]] has been borrowed by [[psychoanalysis ]] from everyday [[language]], where it is used either as an adjective to describe something we are not allowed to do, say, see, [[think]], or be; or substantively to refer to the [[law]], [[social ]] constraint, [[moral ]] education, and so on, on which this [[prohibition ]] is based.

Initially, that is [[Psychoanalytic]] [[language]] gives a more precise [[meaning]] to say, within the framework of the first topography and the first theory of drives, Freud studied the libidinal origins of the conflict and its treatment through repression (these are the texts on metapsychology from 1915) as well as its educational ("Little Hans," 1915), sociological and ethnological (Totem and Tabooterm, 1912-1913a) origins. The formulation of the Oedipus complex then focused attention on the prohibition of incesthowever.

Subsequently, the formulation of the second topography led [[Prohibition]] can [[present]] itself to a redefinition of prohibition. Here, the ego appears subject as prey to conflicts where it is torn between "three masters": the id and its libidinal demands, reality and adaptive requirements[[external]], and be internalized as a superego that is essentially defined as an agent result of prohibition. (However, to this must be added the more positive functions its associated [[dynamic]] of [[conflict]]; it can also result from [[structural]] requirements inherent in the ego ideal, which condenses all the moral values the subject claims to hold[[mind]].)

Although throughout his work Freud presents In every [[case]] the incest prohibition as the heart formulation of the conflictual dynamic, he also discusses prohibitions that affect other manifestations of sexuality, primarily masturbation [[prohibition]] and the satisfaction of the partial drives its operation can be partially or compound instincts (voyeurismtotally [[unconcious]], exhibitionism, anal pleasure). Generalization of even when the limitations created by these prohibitions can lead to serious inhibitions of thought. Moreover, it has been shown how the repression of the drives can lead to serious reaction formations, especially when aggression is poorly integratedresulting conduct and its justification are [[explicit]].

The [[concept]] appears early in [[Freud]]'s [[work]] and can be found in the Studies on [[Hysteria]] (1895d), where the subject, driven by desires prohibited by [[morality]], consciously forms "representations that are [[irreconcilable]]" with that morality, and then refuses [[them]] satisfaction, doing away with them by making them [[unconcious]] through repression.  Those desires are always, in the final [[analysis]], [[sexual]] in [[nature]], especially in the case of the "neuro-[[psychoses]] of [[defense]]."  "The etiology of hysteria almost inevitably can be traced to a psychic conflict, an irreconcilable representation, which prompts into action the defense of the ego and provokes repression" ([[Freud]], 1896b).  From the very outset, then, the [[notion]] of [[prohibition]] is inseparable from the drive-defense conflict, which will constitute the core of [[psychoanalytic theory]].   Initially, that is to say, within the framework of the first [[topography]] and the first [[theory]] of [[drives]], [[Freud]] studied the [[libidinal]] origins of the conflict and its [[treatment]] through [[repression]] (these are the [[texts]] on [[metapsychology]] from 1915) as well as its educational ("Little [[Hans]]," 1915), sociological and ethnological ([[Totem]] and [[Taboo]], 1912-1913a) origins.  The formulation of the [[Oedipus]] [[complex]] then focused attention on the [[prohibition]] of [[incest]].   Subsequently, the formulation of the [[second topography]] led to a redefinition of [[prohibition]].  Here, the [[ego]] appears as prey to conflicts where it is torn between "[[three]] masters": the [[id]] and its libidinal [[demands]], [[reality]] and adaptive requirements, and a [[superego]] that is essentially defined as an [[agent]] of [[prohibition]].  (However, to this must be added the more positive functions of the [[ego]] [[ideal]], which condenses all the moral values the [[subject]] claims to hold.)   Although throughout his work [[Freud]] presents the incest [[prohibition]] as the heart of the conflictual dynamic, he also discusses [[prohibition]]s that [[affect]] [[other]] manifestations of [[sexuality]], primarily [[masturbation]] and the [[satisfaction]] of the [[partial]] drive]]s or compound [[instinct]]s ([[voyeurism]], [[exhibitionism]], [[anal]] [[pleasure]]).  Generalization of the limitations created by these [[prohibition]]s can lead to serious inhibitions of [[thought]].  Moreover, it has been shown how the [[repression]] of the [[drive]]s can lead to serious reaction [[formations]], especially when [[aggression]] is poorly integrated.  [[Censorship]]; Conflict; [[Deprivation]]; [[Ethics]]; Incest; [[law]] of the [[father]]; [[Oedipus complex]]; Taboo; [[Transgression]].  [[Bibliography]]  * [[Freud]], Sigmund.  (1896b).  Further remarks on the neuro-psychoses of [[defence]].
