由婴儿神经症的概念引起的理论张力全部通过弗洛伊德语料库-在儿童发育的心理事实（婴儿史和病理学的临床研究）和无意识复合体的普遍结构之间的十字路口，包括俄狄浦斯情结（心理冲突和孩子经历的“文明”过程的模型）。刻有历时性的“时间性”，就像每个人的生活经历及其沧桑一样，或者“临时的”，就像每一个组织模式和它引发的压抑结构一样，婴儿神经症使我们检查防御机制的超心理学状态。
The theoretical tension raised by the concept of infantile neurosis is featured all through the Freudian corpus - caught at the crossroads between the psychic facts of the child\'s development (infantile history and clinical study of pathologies) and the universal structure of unconscious complexes, including the Oedipus complex (the model of intrapsychic conflicts and of the process of \"civilisation\" undergone by the child). Inscribed in diachronic \"temporality\" like every individual lived experience and its vicissitudes, or \"extemporal\" like every organising schema and the structuring of repressions that it elicits, infantile neurosis leads us to examine the metapsychological status of defence mechanisms.
