SUMMARY:

The present study aims to systematize and analyze, through two reviews of national
literature, scientific evidence that relates Darwinian evolutionism to psychoanalytic
praxis, as conceived by Sigmund Freud. The dissertation is presented in the format of two
independent articles and interconnected by the object, namely, the presence of Darwinian
evolutionism in Freudian psychoanalysis. The importance of this discussion in
psychoanalytic literature and its connections is highlighted, given its fundamental nature
for understanding the epistemological bases of psychoanalysis. The work is divided into
two objectives, each of them referred respectively to the two articles: a) identify and
contextualize evidence and impact of Darwinian evolutionism in the work of Sigmund
Freud, through a systematic review of the national specialized literature in the last two
decades; b) investigate, also in the national literature, the discussion about Freudian
concepts and their relationship with the Darwinian theory of evolution. As a result of the
first article, it is indicated that the relationship of Darwinian evolutionism with Freudian
psychoanalysis permeates two domains: 1) the presence of Darwinian evolutionism and
the evolutionary model in academic training and in the formalization of Freud's work; 2)
the presence of Darwinian evolutionism as a resource. As a result of the second article,
two concepts stand out. The concept of Trieb, object of great attention in most of the
studies collected, presents itself as a valuable path for conceptual dialogue between
evolutionary biology and psychoanalysis. The second concept, death drive, is also
highlighted, although it deserves more research investment. All these perspectives range
from Freud's publications in his relationship with Darwin to new ways of thinking about
the incidence of evolutionary grounds in the constitution of psychoanalysis.
