Abstract

This study uses psychoanalysis and psychiatry to propose several hypotheses about the unconscious processes that motivated Simón Bolívar. Being a study of great importance for history, psychology, and psychobiographies. From the psychoanalytic school, its three main exponents and founders have been taken: Freud, Jung and Adler. As a method, his most important theories were used: the Oedipus complex, the individual unconscious and Freud’s libido. Jung’s collective unconscious. And Adler’s feeling of inferiority. The essay concludes that: - Bolívar would have an unconscious traumatized by several serious childhood losses. – Due to these same losses, the Oedipus complex would not develop satisfactorily. - The strong libido of the Liberator is legendary, hence the emancipation of Latin America should be due to the processing of their unconscious traumas and the sublimation of their Libido. - Bolívar, would respond to various archetypes of submission still in force in the Latin American collective unconscious, such as “Zambo” or “Indio”, etc., which are endoracist and endoclassist archetypes. – He also responds to the archetypes of Freedom necessary for the development of the Latin American collective unconscious, he is “The Father”,” The “Liberator”. – Bolívar would have an “inferiority” complex due to his Latin American phenotype in the Spanish courts - This inferiority complex would turn into megalomania, as compensation, which led him to perform various physical and mental feats – The physical structure of the Liberator would correspond to the type neurasthenic according to Kretschmer, which together with the unconscious traumas would make him prone to developing a psychosis.
