Question
Sigmund Freud wrote: "By accepting the existence of these two (or three) psychical systems,
psycho-analysis has departed a step further from the descriptive
"psychology of consciousness" and has raised new problems and acquired a new content."
What did he mean by that and what problems are likely to arise because of that?
Answer
He meant that lack of resistance equals acceptance.
As long as either analysand accepts analyst's content or analyst accepts analysand's, analysis proves successful,
however, both parties could be trapped in circulus in probando, logical fallacy known as circular reasoning.
