Some of Freud's main theoretical conceptualizations drew on metaphors from 19th century physics. However, though the physics of Freud's era was based on deterministic Newtonian mechanics and equilibrium thermodynamics, his descriptions of the dynamics of instincts, therapeutic change, and even transference, were far beyond this model. Freud's dynamic description of psychic development evokes contemporary theories of irreversible, far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics and non-linear dynamics. The present paper focuses on bifurcation theory, which offers a paradigm for the investigation of unpredictable but deterministic phenomena; this paradigm sheds a retroactive light on the classical psychoanalytical conceptualizations of complemental series, repetition compulsion, transference and cure.
弗洛伊德的一些主要理论概念借鉴了19世纪物理学的隐喻。然而，尽管弗洛伊德时代的物理学基于确定性的牛顿力学和平衡热力学，但他对本能动力学、治疗变化乃至移情的描述却远远超出了这一模型。弗洛伊德对心理发展的动态描述唤起了当代不可逆、远离平衡态热力学和非线性动力学的理论。本文聚焦于分岔理论，该理论为研究不可预测但具有确定性的现象提供了一个范式；这一范式为互补系列、强迫性重复、移情和治愈等经典精神分析概念提供了一种追溯性的阐释。
