To archieve this, we made a detailed analysis of the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt while epistemological Mark, and not as an individual production of its members. This paper was divided into three parts: 1) a brief introduction to the suggested topic and some explanations of the research procedure culminat in this article; 2) A historical contextualization of the events that led to the rapprochement between Freudianism and the Frankfurt School; 3) The ratio of Critical Theory with freudian psychoanalysis in its philosophical, sociological and cultural critic aspects. Thus, We tried to identify these fields approach and displacement movements that symbolize the conflicting relationship between the historical and dialectical materialism and the Freudianism mainly because we assume the premise that the dialogues Critical Theory with Freud’s psychoanalysis had the metapsychology as a mediator instrument. The purpose of this work is to show the importance of the Frankfurt School for Critical Theory and the understanding of phenomena involving the subject-society relations.
