=====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.
=====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]]).
=====Primary=====[[LacanRepression|Primal repression]] does not see ([[primary repressionGerman]]: ''Urverdrängung'') is the [[alienation]] of [[desire]] as a specific psychical when [[actneed]], localisable is articulated in [[timedemand]], but as a structural feature of .<ref>{{E}} p. 286</ref> It is also the [[languageunconscious]] itself - namely, its necessary incompleteness, the [[impossibilitysignifying chain]] of ever saying "the truth about truth."<ref>{{EcE}} p.868314</ref> [[Primary repression]] is the [[repression]] of the first [[signifier]].
[[Lacan]] does not see [[repression|primary repression]] as a specific psychical [[act]], localizable in [[time]], but as a [[structure|structural feature]] of [[language]] itself - namely, its necessary [[lack|incompleteness]], the [[impossibility]] of ever saying "the [[truth]] [[about]] truth."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 868</ref>
=====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]]."
