Abstract

The concept of mental unconscious processes is fundamental to psychoanalytic theory, Freud never stopped
trying to prove arguments in favor of this concept and fight the objections against it. Freud’s interests in this
concept was not merely philosophical but pragmatic, without finding that he could not explain or describe many
phenomena. With this concept he found an open way to a vast and fertile region of new knowledge.
In Freud’s work all along the word “psychosomatic” it’s not mentioned at all, however, psychoanalysis, contributed
greatly to the development of the foundations of this study area. Classically defined a number of diseases
in which damage is sustained by a somatic psychic conflict, which means, a set of situations that include
interactions between the psychic and somatic ranging from classically described diseases to sporadic and
punctual events in which the body responds to the impossibility of processing at a mental conflict.
Somatic illness “hides” an affection, but it is not anyone, but each different disease was established as a
development that represents or corresponds to a particular unconscious affection, the disease-specific, rooted
in a history, forming a “chapter” in particular on the biography of the patient
