The symbolization indicates the capacity to develop representations.

First theory freudienne

The first theory of Sigmund Freud opposes the two registers of the action and symbolization. To act there is conceived like failure of the language; the representation of thing is opposed to the representation of mot.

This theory goes hand in hand with the design of the symptom like misses development. The symptom nevrotic itself is Acting-out marking a defect of development that only the psychoanalytical Cure could correct.

Second theory

In the second theory of Freud, which one can locate at the time of work Totem and Tabou , the action is seen like first: “ At the beginning was the act ”. The act and its repetition thus allow symbolization. It is thus about an antagonistic prospect, the act not coming more to show one failure but on the contrary allowing symbolism to emerge - what Michel Matthieu will state like passage by the act .

Play of the reel

principal Artcile: Play of the reel.

Sigmund Freud had been interested in the problem by observing the play of the reel , i.e. a child who had fun with a reel attached by a string, to make it fall then to bring back it to him. Freud interpreted that like Compulsion to repeat: the child repeated, symbolically, a Traumatisme painful, in order to adapt it.

Theory lacanienne

Jacques Lacan will draw from that meaning it of the mother, like meaning first acquired. Whereas the psychotic is not easily deceived Noms of the Father, the autistic does not integrate the meaning first, that which makes it possible to symbolize the absence.
