[[Freud]]'s most important discussion of the "[[repetition|repetition compulsion]]" (''[[Wiederholungszwang]]'') occurs in ''[[Beyond the Pleasure Principle]]'' (1920) where he links it to the concept of the [[death drive]].
-----
A characteristic expression of unconscious psychic processes, repetition drives the subject, more or less regularly, but inflexibly, to reiterate systematically certain experiences, thoughts, ideas, and representations.
Repetition is the general characteristic of the signifying chain, the manifestation of the unconscious in every subject, and transference is only a very special form of repetition (i.e. it is repetition within psychoanalytic treatment), which cannot simply be equated with the repetition compulsion itself. <ref>S8, 208</ref>
