“TALKING CURE” or
“CHIMNEY SWEEPING”
Cathartic Method or Abreaction
• An original response to a traumatic event is suppressed, and the affect or emotion is not expressed
• The original affect then expresses itself in bodily symptoms, a process called hysterical conversion
• Cure consists of verbally reviewing the event, and releasing the original affect.

• ID: locus of fantasies, desire, unconscious
• EGO: emerged from Id, but had adapted to society
• EGO-IDEAL (Super-ego): source of repression, moral conscience
Manifest Content of Dream—its story-line, a conscious process
DREAM CENSOR—lets some information out, represses, disguises other information
Latent Content of Dream—dream thoughts, unconscious, often unacceptable wishes
Traumdeutung, Interpretation of Dreams (1900)
• Condensation: dream concentrates or compresses a number of different ideas into one; a composite picture.
• Displacement: transformation of dream thoughts into more acceptable thoughts in order to conceal unconscious meaning.
• Representation: all material gathered into a single situation in the dream.
• Symbolization: a certain set of symbols exist in unconscious, and become part of the dream.
