Psychopathology of Everyday Life — Sigmund Freud

During the year 1898 I published a short essay on the Psychic Mechanism of Forgetfulness I shall now repeat its contents and take it as a starting point for further discussion I have there undertaken a psychologic analysis of a common case of temporary forgetfulness of proper names and from a pregnant example of my own observation I have reached the conclusion that this frequent and practically unimportant occurrence of a failure of a psychic function of memory admits an explanation which goes beyond the customary utilization of this phenomenon If an average psychologist should be asked to explain how it happens that we often fail to recall a name which we are sure we know he would probably content himself with the answer that proper names are more apt to be forgotten than any other content of memory He might give plausible reasons for this forgetting preference for proper names but he would not assume any deep determinant for the process

Professor Freud developed his system of psychoanalysis while studying the so called border line cases of mental diseases such as hysteria and compulsion neurosis By discarding the old methods of treatment and strictly applying himself to a study of the patient s life he discovered that the hitherto puzzling symptoms had a definite meaning and that there was nothing arbitrary in any morbid manifestation Psychoanalysis always showed that they referred to some definite problem or conflict of the person concerned It was while tracing back the abnormal to the normal state that Professor Freud found how faint the line of demarcation was between the normal and neurotic person and that the psychopathologic mechanisms so glaringly observed in the psychoneuroses and psychoses could usually be demonstrated in a lesser degree in normal persons This led to a study of the faulty actions of everyday life and later to the publication of the Psychopathology of Everyday Life a book which passed through four editions in Germany and is considered the author s most popular work With great ingenuity and penetration the author throws much light on the complex problems of human behaviour and clearly demonstrates that the hitherto considered impassable gap between normal and abnormal mental states is more apparent than real
