A COLLECTION OF FREUD'S "GENERAL" WRITINGS ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY, Aug 16 2010
By Steven H. Propp - Published on Amazon.com
Sociology professor Philip Rieff (author of Freud: The Mind of the Moralist) edited a 10-volume edition of Freud's Collected Papers, which grouped the papers by general subject (e.g., Therapy and Technique, Character and Culture, Studies in Parapsychology).Here are some representative quotations from the book:
"Now let us call 'conscious' the conception which is present to our consciousness and of which we are aware, and let this be the only meaning of the term 'conscious.' As for latent conceptions, if we have any reason to suppose that they exist in the mind---as we had in the case of memory---let them be denoted by the term 'unconscious.'"
"As we have learnt, the formation of the ideal increases the demands of the ego and is the most powerful factor favoring repression; sublimation is a way out, a way by which the ego can be met without involving repression."
"The state of being in love consists in a flowing-over of ego-libido to the object."
"(T)he essence of repression lies simply in the function of rejecting and keeping something out of consciousness."
"Neurosis is the result of a conflict between the ego and its id, whereas psychosis is the analogous outcome of a similar disturbance in the relation between the ego and its environment (outer world)."
"Thus we see that there arises both in neurosis and in psychosis the question not only of the loss of reality, but of a substitute for reality too."
