Childhood Memories and Concealing Memories مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

In that example, the content of the concealing memory went back to one of the years of childhood, while the psychological experiences that gave way to the concealing memory and remained almost unconscious were formed in the later years of the individual's life. We forget how important the intellectual achievements of an almost four-year-old child are, and how complex his emotional upheavals are, and we are intensely astonished that the memory of subsequent years has, naturally, preserved only a little of these psychological processes, especially since all available evidence convinces us that these very forgotten childhood achievements, contrary to common belief, have not been lost without affecting the individual's development, but rather have played a decisive role in his future life; and yet, meaning despite this unique influence, they have been forgotten! Any expert who has engaged in the psychological investigation of individuals using the psychoanalytic method has collected numerous examples of various types of screen memories during their activity; however, reporting these examples is extremely difficult given the depiction I provided regarding the nature of the relationship between childhood memories and the subsequent years of an individual's life. In this example, there apparently was no reason to doubt the importance of this childhood memory; nevertheless, it practically found its meaning at a later time, namely when it showed sufficient proportion to present another symbolic manifestation of the boy's curiosity.
