In 1932, Zweig published Die Heilung durch den Geist, a biographical essay whose central figure was Freud and his psychoanalytic theory. Some of Zweig's criticisms of the praxis of psychoanalysis generated controversy. However, Zweig's interest in Freudian theory was essentially aesthetic, as evidenced by the incorporation of certain psychoanalytic ideas into his narrative works. From this perspective, three novels by the Austrian author are analyzed: Der Amokläufer (1922), Verwirrung der Gefühle (1927) and Schachnovelle (1942).

El presente artículo se centrará en el acercamiento a la teoría psicoanalítica de Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) que tuvo el escritor austríaco Stefan Zweig (1881-1942), así como también en algunas repercusiones de esta relación en su producción narrativa. En 1932 Zweig publica Die Heilung durch den Geist, un ensayo biográfico que tiene como figura central a Freud y su teoría psicoanalítica. Ciertas críticas de Zweig a la praxis del psicoanálisis generaron polémica. Sin embargo, el interés de Zweig en la teoría freudiana tuvo un carácter esencialmente estético, como lo prueba la incorporación de ciertas ideas psicoanalíticas en sus obras narrativas. Desde esta perspectiva se analizan tres novelas del autor austríaco: Der Amokläufer de 1922, Verwirrung der Gefühle de 1927 y Schachnovelle de 1942. Zweig, aún con sus reparos frente a la teoría freudiana, extrajo de ella recursos fundamentales para su trabajo narrativo tanto en el plano de la elaboración temática como en el de lo formal.  Centro de Investigaciones de la Facultad de Lenguas (CIFAL), Facultad de Lenguas, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
