Acts Failed

BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION

Put yourself in situation.
Jesus arrives in consultation with a pretty bad mood: "I am very angry with myself, this morning I went for a walk and I left the keys forgotten at home ... Four hours without knowing what to do!, Until my wife finally arrived."
Jesus a few years ago the company negotiated with his dismissal, money with which he devoted himself to speculate on the stock market in the hope of increasing it.
In the morning he got up early and about 11 in the morning was around half an hour. But this time around was extended and could not work this morning in front of the screen, but anyway his mood seemed excessive. He explained that that morning could have won a lot of money and was tired of his forgetfulness.
Two days without going any further, it took two hours to find the car because he forgot where he had parked, which made him think of some mental impairment, but in fact 36 years was too young for it.
He said that in the latest stock investments had not gone well because I made a mistake after another, so that each time was more afraid to invest. This comment gave the clue to understanding his "forgetfulness".
Actually, the part of him where he lived his fear, an unconscious, had wanted to forget the keys at home and stay in the sun, despite his conscious intention ........


FALLIDOS1 ACTS

Meringer (philologist) and Mayer (Psychiatrist) in 1895 had made an attempt to address the issue of the slip when speaking.
So distinguished permutations in the sequence of words (Example if someone says "The Mona Lisa" instead of the "Mona Lisa"), sound advance (Example "someone says" buzojo "when going to say the diver red) or postponement thereof.
Also slips of the tongue is produced by contraction or by blending where it forms a mixed word coming from two or by substituting one word for another. All this is, according to the authors, that words have different valences and then have the greatest value less influence the valence disturbingly.

In August 1898, in a letter to Freud tells Fliess2 forget it's a name and its replacement by some other element, which have led to concern within himself to investigate why it had happened that made and a month later, in another letter to éste3, is glad to have been able to easily explain even a second example of forgetting the name, but you ask yourself at the end of it to whom you are to believe all this I was discovering, demonstrating that Freud had a huge desire to investigate and transcend their studies.

In "Psychopathology of Everyday Life" (1901), in the first chapter, Freud analyzes the case who told to Fliess, where while traveling with a companion to a city casual Herzegovina, could not remember the name of a painter Italian Luca Signorelli and in its place came to his mind other names of the same nationality painters: Sandro Botticelli and Giovanni Boltraffio.
He recalled that the Turks of Bosnia Herzegovina, in his resignation before fate, when a doctor announced to them that the case was hopeless some insider said: "Herr (Lord tr.): no more about it, I know if it were possible to save , you would have done it. "
Then the "Bo" of Bosnia was with Botticelli and Boltraffio, while "Herr" and Herzegovina was the Italian translation "Signor" in Signorelli.
While talking on the trip, had thought of the importance they give the Turks in Bosnia to sexual pleasure and despair when had difficulties in this regard, linking this to the news he had received in Trafoi, the suicide of one of his patients, suffering from incurable sexual disorders. Therefore, the proximity between Boltraffio Trafoi and forced him to admit that despite the intentional diversion of its attention, and was influenced by this reminiscence.
Although he wanted to forget something else and not the name of Signorelli, among the "something else" and the name was established associative link, so that his act of will not hit home, forgetting the name, being that I wanted to intentionally forget the other thing was.
So the name of the Italian painter, associated with certain ideas of death and repressed sexuality, had been dragged them to his unconscious.
Since then, the ideas of death and sexuality by themselves do not have that effect. Freud had not forgotten the issue of fresh or death issue, or Turkish sexual histories, so that repression was not there, but was linked to the news received in Trafoi.

From this, Freud stated then that the conditions necessary to discuss not accidentally forget a name is a tendency to forget that name, the existence of a relatively recent repression and the possibility of establishing an outer association between the name of that and is the object of repression, but later clarified that some caution must be taken because not all cases of neglect of a proper name can be included in the same category as the forgetting of the name Signorelli.
Hence the slip, puzzled by its effects and its abbreviated structure presents similarities with the joke and sleep, so it is a good tool to undo and remove neurotic symptoms.

From Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, Freud failed operations defined as serious mental acts and not mere contingencies that have meaning and action arise from two different tendencies found a disturbing and disturbed.
The disturbed, it is always clear, the person committing the failed operation knows and declares, while disturbing (latent intent) disfigures disturbed.
The intentions that manifest as other disturbances can be divided into three groups: the disturbing trend is known by the subject of the mistake before it, the person who commits the mistake recognizes disturbing trend tendency staff, although aware that the it was already in operation before the mistake and a third where the subject energetically protest against the interpretation suggests.
The degree of impact that has the disturbing trend on the trend disturbed, will more or less straightforward interpretation.
The different operations are distinguished Freud failed:

Slips of the tongue (German versprechen), which themselves can be when you say exactly the opposite of what was meant, like the President of the Chamber of Deputies said: "I note the presence on campus of a sufficient number of gentlemen, and therefore declare closed the assignment "4, when the started in practice, which makes it easy to interpret that his intention was to close the sale, while condensation of ideas that are going to say, for example, the teacher after exposing anatomy class asked his students if they understood, which responded positively to what the teacher says hardly believe it, because "the people who understand the nasal cavities can be counted in a city of millions of people with a finger ... Forgiveness, on the fingers of one hand "five or mixed formations, as the case of the person who said:" But then certain facts came to Vorschwein "6, nonexistent word in German, who formed in Vorschein (tr. out light) and Schweinerei (tr. crap, that was what I wanted to say), who gave that Vorschwein conjugate.

In reading slips (German verlesen), is usually given the fact replace one word with another, which are almost always similar, which may be because some thought it had before whom this happens, where something you want to replace that which does not interest

Lapses hearing (German verhoren) are given when you hear something you falsely says, without any to do a condition in hearing.

In the slips of the pen, we can find anticipation of words that also point to a desire to finish the sentence, but unlike speech, in a letter, for example, who rarely committed by account, unless you reread he writes.

In the forgetting of intentions (in German vergessen), the disturbing trend is always an opposite, which can not always be directly related to the other person. For example, a person to receive his guest, he says "you coming today? I had completely forgotten I invited him for today. " In this case the host might suspect host official who was not looking forward to receive it, "for something they have forgotten." However this does not necessarily mean anything against that person, but this host can evoke the memory of a situation experienced in that has nothing to do with itself.

In the forgetting of proper names and foreign names and foreign words generally operates in order to avoid the unpleasantness that would cause the memory thereof. Then the same name can cause different effects on two different people, to evoke an important person to one who is not in the other, so such a difficult name, you can easily remember which one you name evokes that significant other, which makes this topic is not as readily interpretation.

The forgetting of impressions and experiences operates as a defense mechanism, causing gaps in memory also unpleasant situations in life. While it is true that not all unpleasant situations in life one forgets, but many are set in stone, which collapses this point Freud's analysis, although admits the replies saying that opposites Psychoanalysis is not excluded.

In case you lose or misplace something (in German verlegen) usually occurs when what is lost comes from someone who generates an unpleasant memory or if we replace it with something better. You can also give self-punishment, when there is the purpose of giving something to another destination to defend against feared loss

The bungled, can fulfill desires that can not be made. For example, a student is a weekend to his hometown and when it's Sunday night is going to take the last car returns to the capital of the country, it takes to get to the terminal or confuses a street for what should remain there until the other day, which is what I was actually looking forward to.

In turn, failed operations can be accrued, as the case of Ernest Jones7, who had on his desk a letter delayed send. When he decided to do it, he forgot to put the recipient's address and it was returned. When contacted management, forgot to paste the prayer card, or combined, for example if someone forgets to keep an appointment I had agreed on a first occasion and then comes at a wrong time to the second.


APPOINTMENTS


  Defaulted Instruments Defining the Dictionary of Jean Laplanche and Jean Bertrand Pontalis:
Act in which the result is not obtained explicitly pursued but is replaced by another. There is talk of failed acts not to designate the whole word errors, memory and action, but refers to the Individual behaviors that usually is able to perform successfully, and which tend to attribute failure to lack attention or random. Freud showed that Freudian slips are, like symptoms, compromise formations between the conscious intention of the subject and the repressed.
