Book synopsis

Excerpt from Psychotherapy, Vol. 3: A Course of Reading in Sound Psychology, Sound Medicine, and Sound Religion Thoughts which are of a disagreeable or painful nature are always forgotten - that is, we intentionally crowd them out of our consciousness so as to free ourselves from pain and disagreeable feel ing. This is a protective mechanism for the good of the organism, for what would happen to us if we were always confronted by the numberless painful and disagreeable incidents of life? What we imagine to be forgotten remains in the unconscious in a repressed state, and forms what Jung calls a complex. The complex remains in an inert state until incited by some association. Thus, an elderly lady experiences a feeling of uneasiness whenever she by chance sees a red-haired person. She is unable to account for it, and of late it has especially annoyed her because one of the members of her club happens to be of the Titian type. Analysis showed that forty-eight years ago she had a very unpleasant experience with a red-haired schoolmate. She was not at all cognizant of this incident each time she felt that sense of uneasiness, and she was wont to attribute it to the popular prejudice. But as she considers herself above such prejudice she could not understand her rude manners toward the lady of the Titian type. It was only after a lengthy analysis, after all the resistances were broken, that the original incident became conscious to her.
