ABSTRACT:
If Freud's theory of defense and repression is true, it is proposed that this would mean that the manifest content of his conscious thought (namely, his theory)does not accurately represent his real thoughts. Instead, it would distort, disguise, and hide them. Freud's own special method of analysis and interpretation, which begins with rejecting the manifest meaning of conscious thought, would have to be used to gain insight into his "real," but cleverly hidden, thoughts. Therefore, wherever Freud's manifest thoughts, rather than his latent and hidden thoughts, have shaped subsequent theories, research, and clinical practice, a fundamental re-appraisal of these theories is called for. In addition, resolving this major misunderstanding of Freud's thought will likely greatly facilitate integration of clinical and developmental psychological theories.
