Greg:
It all begins with hysteria. Conversion hysteria.In the late 1800s certain patients suffered from psychic disorders like blindness and paralysis but not organic injuries. They were thought to be bluffing. But if you stick a pin into a paralyzed hysteric's leg, he feels nothing, no pain. At the time Freud began to work with a doctor named Breuer who took hysteria very seriously. By using hypnosis,he managed to return to the patient's past and discovered one or more traumatic events that caused the symptoms. In fact it's an idea a violent but forbidden desire that is so repressed it becomes totally unconscious. Then it resurfaces, but converted into a physical symptom. For example a young woman at her father's sickbed. She tends to him. An incestuous desire appears in her. She thinks Not another step in that direction. So the desire and the thought that comes with it are repressed. But the thing is, it resurfaces in physical form. Here, as a paralysis. To put it simply she can no longer walk. Or in the case of certain neurotics the appearance of phobias or obsessions.
