- Freud explains the definition of unconscious as a state in which the human being does not remember anything
- Things learned in the unconscious state are able to emerge in the conscious state
- Freud gives an example of a patient under hypnosis who recollects what happened during the unconscious state
Five Lectures on Psychoanalysis:
- Freud describes hypnotic patients again and explains how he helps them remember what happened during the unconscious state. After some help, the patients remember what happens
- Freud describes repressed thoughts which many hysteria patients do when traumatic events happen
- Freud believes that the cure to hysteria is to talk about the suppressed thoughts with the patient
- Freud provides an example of a patient who is cured of hysteria after she remembers a specific event which was repressed in her memory
- Freud believes that man is inherently aggressive citing examples such Genghis Khan and World War I
- Freud believes that Civilization will suffer from this aggression and it will eventually crumble
- Freud disagrees with the communists who believe that private property is the reason for man's aggression. Instead he believes that aggression is part of man and nothing will be able to stop it
Excellent post, Edward.
