The present article intends to tackle "The Unconscious", metapsychological text written by Freud in 1915. I wish to indicate here the different approaches and sources that have influenced the elaboration of this concept, as well as the barriers that it needed to overcome and the importance of transference to the author, in the clinical and theoretical work. I will discuss each one of the seven chapters of the referred work.
