This procedure is to the psychologist what qualitative analysis is to the chemist ; it may be dispensed with in the therapy of neurotic patients, but is indispensable in the investigations of the psychoses, which have been begun by the Zurich school with such valuable results.

Page 226 - The manifest dream-content is the disguised surrogate for the unconscious dream thoughts, and this disguising is the work of the defensive forces of the ego, of the resistances. These prevent the repressed wishes from entering consciousness during the waking life, and even in the relaxation of sleep they are still strong enough to force them to hide themselves by a sort of masquerading.

Page 119 - When food was offered him he did not know the purpose of it; nor when it was placed in his mouth did he know how to masticate and swallow it. In order to feed him, fluid nourishment had to be placed far back into the pharynx, thus provoking reflex swallowing movements.
Page 249 - The psychological trouble in neurosis, and the neurosis itself, can be formulated as an act of adaptation that has failed. This formulation might reconcile certain views of Janet's with Freud's view that a neurosis is...
Page 119 - Every human being has two personalities: an archaic, primitive, childlike, unadapted personality, and a modern, sophisticated, adult, and, to all appearances, adapted personality.
Page 247 - It presents a resume of the subliminal association material which is brought together by the momentary psychological situation.' "And that brings us to the mechanisms by which the logical dream thoughts are presented to the waking consciousness in forms that often seem illogical and absurd. This shaping is called by Freud the dream work, and four principles direct it : Condensation, Displacement, Dramatization, and Secondary...
Page 226 - ... (symptoms) of hysterical subjects; it points to the fact that the same opposition of psychic forces has its share in the creation of dreams as in the creation of symptoms. The manifest dream-content is the disguised surrogate for the unconscious dream thoughts, and this disguising is the work of the defensive forces of the ego, of the resistances. These prevent the repressed wishes from entering consciousness during the waking life, and even in the relaxation of sleep they are still strong enough...
