Introductory lectures on psycho-analysis · Sigmund Freud

ZOLA, ÉMILE, 221

Also in the writings of A. Maeder (_French_), A. A. Brill and Ernest Jones (_English_), and J. Stärcke (_Dutch_) and others. Footnote 23: From R. Reitler. Footnote 24: [German: _Zurückdrängen_ = to force back. This word is stronger than _unterdrücken_ = to press under, which we translate by suppress (not a technical term); _zurückdrängen_ contains already the _drängen_ of _verdrängen_, the technical word used by Freud to denote the strongest pressure of all, _repression_. In the examples discussed here, the agency withholding the intention from expression may be either conscious or unconscious (groups one, two, and three, according to the degree of unconsciousness); Freud does not use _verdrängen_ = “repression,” the technical word for _unconscious_ agency only, here, but one very near to it in sense.—TR.] Footnote 25: Joseph Breuer, in the years 1880–1882. Cf. my Lectures on Psycho-Analysis, delivered in the United States in 1909. Footnote 26: [It should be noted that in using the word “unconscious” to translate the German “_unbewusst_” we are deflecting it from its customary English sense, which is “absence of unawareness,” such as in the phrases “he lay unconscious,” “a stone is unconscious,” etc. _Unbewusst_ is rather “unconscious’d,” i.e. something of which the subject is not aware. Of it two statements may therefore be predicated, not only that it is not conscious in itself or of itself, but also that the subject is not conscious of its existence.—TR.]

Footnote 27: [Lit.: “Tablers”—TR.] Footnote 28: [This example has been altered in translation to bring in the play upon words in English.—TR.] Footnote 29: [See note on preceding example.—TR.] Footnote 30: See Frontispiece. Footnote 31: Frau Dr. von Hug-Hellmuth. Footnote 32: [_Liebesdienst_ = “love service,” a popular expression adapted from “military service.”—TR.] Footnote 33: [Cf. sweetheart, sweetest.—TR.] Footnote 34: [In German, an old acquaintance is often addressed as “old house” (_altes Haus_); the expression “giving him one on the roof” (_einem eins aufs Dachl geben_) corresponds to “hitting him over the head.”] Footnote 35: [The _portal_ vein carries nourishment from the bowels to the body _via_ the liver. The _pylorus_ (from πύλη = gate) is the entrance to the small intestine. In German, the apertures of the body are called _Leibespforten_ (gates of the body).—TR.] Footnote 36: [Cf. the Russian expression, “Little father.”—TR.] Footnote 37: [Cf. “I am a wall and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.” Cant. viii. 10.—TR.] Footnote 38: [This is certainly so with English patients.—TR.] Footnote 39: Whilst correcting these pages, my eye happened to fall upon a newspaper paragraph which I reproduce here as affording unexpected confirmation of the above words.
