Remembering, Repeating and Working-through Quotes

“Most importantly, the very inception of the treatment itself necessarily induces a change in the patient's conscious attitude to his illness...that he does not listen carefully enough to what he obsessional ideas are saying to him, or does not grasp the real intention of his obsessional impulse.”
― Sigmund Freud, Remembering, Repeating and Working-through

“The greater the resistance, the more thoroughly remembering will be replaced by acting out (repetition)....he repeats everything deriving from the repressed element within himself that has already established itself in his manifest personality.”
― Sigmund Freud, Remembering, Repeating and Working-through

“We may say that the patient does not remember anything at all of what he has forgotten and repressed, but rather acts it out. He reproduces it not as a memory, but as an action; he repeats it, without of course being aware of the fact that he is repeating it.”
― Sigmund Freud, Remembering, Repeating and Working-through
