“The patient cannot remember the whole of what is repressed in him, and what he cannot remember may be precisely the essential part of it.. He is obliged to repeat the repressed material as a contemporary experience instead of remembering it as something in the past.” This controversial quote is from Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle, one of his most intensely debated works.

Published in 1920, this work marked a turning point in Freud's theoretical approach, expanding his theory to include the death drive alongside carnal impulses. The ongoing struggle between harmony (Eros) and destruction (Thanatos) significantly influenced his subsequent work, sparking important questions that continue to be debated a century later.
