A glossary of Freudian terms. A Glossary of Freudian Terms C oagulated by, author of: Reengaging the Soul of Place (Spring Journal Books, 2007) and department chair of Key concepts attributed to Freud appear below in alpha order. I hope that the humorous sidebars amuse rather than distract. A listing the origins of Freud's main ideas appears at the end of this glossary. Freud was much more of a synthesizer than an innovator. Some 'Translation Notes' are included to clarify bad renderings of Freud's polished German terms into Latinized English. (See Bettelheim's book on Freud and Man's Soul.) 'I'd rather have a good friend than a good translator,' Freud remarked about the clumsy and inaccurate work of James Strachey.
A Note on Freud's 'Instincts and their Vicissitudes'. Since in this note directed lines are the only lines discussed, we sometimes omit the word 'directed'. The aim of this research is to make an attempt at exploring and exposing instincts and their vicissitudes in Freud and thereafter, proffer virile criticisms.
For readers of English this sentiment has proved regrettable. See also various quotations by and my. I've also written a paper called.

International Journal of Psycho-Analysis, 40:287-290 A Note on Freud's 'Instincts and their Vicissitudes' Dorwin Cartwright The authors of this note, a social psychologist and a mathematician, have collaborated for several years in efforts to bring the resources of mathematics more effectively to bear on problems of social science. As a part of this work we have developed a formal system (1) designed to treat in a rigorous fashion certain notions which have appeared in the psychological literature under such headings as 'tendency toward balance' (4) or 'strain toward symmetry' (5).
The object of this note is to show how this formal system can be employed to derive certain of Freud's observations regarding the development of the ego. In the study of axiomatics and the foundations of mathematics it is shown that one must have a collection of undefined terms, or primitives, whose purpose is to avoid circular definitions. In addition, there is a collection of unproved statements, called axioms or postulates, whose validity is assumed.
The primitives of our formal system are a collection of 'points' and a collection of 'directed lines'. Since in this note directed lines are the only lines discussed, we sometimes omit the word 'directed'. If A and B are points, we denote a line from A to B by Figure 8 In addition, there are two 'signs' available: positive and negative.
Two mathematical axioms may be stated: AXIOM 1. Every line joins exactly two points.

(The possibility that the two points joined by a line can be the same point is not excluded, nor the situation in which two lines can join the [This is a summary or excerpt from the full text of the book or article.
