Freud's Other Theory of Psychoanalysis: The Replacement for the
Indelible Theory of Catharsis argues that Freud's familiar theory
of psychoanalysis is an elaboration of his catharsis theory.
Although it changed from repression of painful memories to the
repression sexuality, to repression of infantile sexuality, to
repressing of the Id, it still remained structurally a theory of
the repression of objectionable urges. Even in Freud's desperate
attempt to replace it with a psychology of the ego, the repression
of the objectionable urges, or the Id, remained the source of
psychopathology. This theory had an indelible effect on Freud, and
remained 'the prototype' of almost all theories of contemporary
psychoanalysis. However, when Freud changed his method of dealing
with his patients to listening to their associations he discovered
the workings of the primary process, the representation in the mind
of the endosomatic stimuli, and the manner in which the primary and
the secondary processes entwine to form both the normal and
abnormal 'psychical' products. Another theory of psychoanalysis
came out of those core observations and Freud was able to give
psychoanalysis a central position in western culture as a whole,
and a significant place in the study and treatment of mental
disorders. Freud's unstated discoveries had all the elements of
another full theory; it was the theory that gave psychoanalysis its
outstanding status. However, he did not articulate it as a distinct
theory that could replace the catharsis theory. This tacit theory
is a theory that does not explain psychopathology in terms of
repression of objectionable urges, but explicates the manners of
the entwinement of the primary and secondary processes that create
the healthy and the psychopathological conditions. It is a
comprehensive theory of psychoanalysis that has applications in
almost all psychical matters, one of which is clinical. The
replacement theory is not another theory like the ones offered by
the contemporary schools. It is implicit in the Freudian text; it
is a Freudian replacement for a popular, but flawed, Freudian
theory.
