The concept of [[repression]] ([[French]]: ''{{Top}}refoulement'') is one of the most basic [[concepts]] in [[psychoanalytic theory]], and denotes the process by which certain [[thought]]s or [[memory|memories]] are expelled from [[consciousness]] and confined to the [[unconscious]]. {{Bottom}}
=====Psychoanalytic Theory=====The [[Freudconcept]] was first led to hypothesise the process of [[repression]] through his investigation into is one of the most basic [[amnesia]] of [[hysteria|hystericalconcepts]] in [[patientpsychoanalytic theory]]s.
He later distinguished between =====Unconscious=====It denotes the [[primal repressionprocess]] (a 'by which certain [[myththought]]ical' s or [[forgettingmemory|memories]] of something that was never are expelled from [[consciousconsciousness]] and confined to begin with, an originary the ''psychical act' by which the [[unconscious]] is first constituted) and [[secondary repression]] (concrete acts of [[repression]] whereby some idea or perception that was once [[conscious]] is expelled from the [[conscious]])'''.
Since =====Sigmund Freud=====[[repression]] does not destroy the [[ideaFreud]]s or [[memories]] that are its target, but merely confines them was first led to hypothesize the process of [[unconsciousrepression]], through his investigation into the amnesia of [[repressedhysteria|hysterical]] [[material]] is always liable to return in a distorted form, in [[symptompatient]]s, [[dream]]s, [[slips of the tongue]], etc. (the [[return of the repressed]]).
=====Primary and Secondary Repression=====
He later distinguished between [[repression|primal repression]] (a "[[myth]]ical" [[forgetting]] of something that was never [[conscious]] to begin with, an originary "[[psychical]] act" by which the [[unconscious]] is first constituted) and [[repression|secondary repression]] ([[concrete]] [[act]]s of [[repression]] whereby some idea or [[perception]] that was once [[conscious]] is expelled from the [[conscious]]).
For =====Formations=====Since [[Lacanrepression]] does not destroy the [[idea]]s or [[memories]] that are its target, but merely confines [[repressionthem]] is to the fundamental operation which distinguishes [[neurosisunconscious]] from , the other [[clinical structurerepressed]] [[material]]s. Whereas is always liable to [[psychoticreturn]]s in a distorted [[forecloseform]], and in [[pervertsymptom]]s , [[disavowdream]]s, only [[neuroticslips of the tongue]]s , etc. (the [[repressreturn of the repressed]]).
What is it that is repressed? =====Neurosis=====At one point For [[Lacan]] speaks of the , [[signifiedrepression]] as is the fundamental operation which distinguishes '''[[objectneurosis]] of repression,<ref>{{E}}} p.55</ref> but he soon abandons this view and argues instead that it is always a ''' from the [[signifierother]] that is [[repressed]], never a [[signifiedclinical structure]]s.<ref>{{Sl1}} p.218</ref> This latter view seems to correspond more closely to Whereas [[Freudpsychotic]]'s view that what is repressed is not the '[[affectforeclose]]' (which can only be displaced or transformed) but the 'ideational representative' of the , and [[drivepervert]].s [[Lacandisavow]] also takes up , only [[Freudneurotic]]'s distinction between [[primal repression]] and secondary [[repressionrepress]]:.
[[Primal repression]] (Ger. ''Urverdr‰ngung'') =====Repressed Signifier=====What is it that is the repressed?

=====Secondary=====
[[Repression|Secondary repression]] ([[German]]" ''Verdrängung'') is a specific psychical [[act]] by which a [[signifier]] is elided from the [[signifying chain]]. [[Repression|Secondary repression]] is [[structure]]d like a [[metaphor]], and always involves 'the [[return of the repressed]]', whereby the [[repressed]] [[signifier]] reappears under the guise of the various [[formation]]s of the [[unconscious]] (i.e. [[symptom]]s, [[dream]]s, [[parapraxis|parapraxes]], [[joke]]s, etc.). In [[Repression|secondary repression]], [[repression]] and the [[return of the repressed]] "are the same [[thing]]."
