This paper aims to perform a contemporary reflection on the two classical neuroses studied by Freud: the hysterical and the obsessive. From a review in the Freudian work, the author proposes the articulations of this neuroses with the contemporary manifestations, emphasizing how the desire and the impulsive manifestations become the propelling spring of these psychopathologies. This paper is divided into two parts: The first is related to female hysteria to the Oedipal movements articulated to the castration complex that provide the output to the girl desires; and the second correlates the anal-sadistic phase with the obsessive symptomatic movements, highlighting the symptomatic positivity in this neurosis. It is concluded that, while the hysterical neurosis puts in evidence the phallic fixation, moving the hysteria in favor of the phallic bright manifestation and the social recognition in its productions, the obsessional neurosis proposes the freezing logic of thoughts and actions, denoting that these manifestations bring, to the foreground, the characteristics of the self-destructive impulse present in its etiology.
