Page 99 - When the patient designated the bird as " le song," the summer as " le warm," the cellar as " le spider " or " le torn " (the torn spider-web) we are able to understand this sort of substitution of a part of the thing for the whole from the point of view of thinking in complexes, in which there is no differentiation between the sign for a part and the sign for the whole. We find a substitution of words of this same sort both in the language of children (the sun is sometimes designated as ga brule)...
Page ix - ... in proportion as the periphery of consciousness is approached, the content of the idea loses more and more of its definiteness, becoming more undifferentiated and acquiring greater resemblance to emotion. The complexes which determine the pathological experiences, therefore, are not really unconscious emotionally toned thought formations, but rather vague, obscure tendencies and feelings of wholly indefinite ideational...

Long before the advent of psychoanalysis prominent psychologists were aware of the unexpected light thrown on both thought...
Page 51 - ... for me the family has become an organism, such as in plants, a whole of which I am a part. Alone I could not exist, and I could not exist only with the children, without their mother. The family is a network of veins which are knit together ; if one is severed my life runs out with the blood that drenches the sand " (Beichte eines Thoren, Part 3).
Page 9 - ... relations, similarity and difference, etc., are as yet wholly undeveloped, the child may include under an idea things having only vague external resemblances of appearance, provided they have some one impressive feature in common ; if the child has been impressed by the power of movement as the principal characteristic of an animal he may regard a clock as an animal because of the motion to and fro of the pendulum.
