ORGANIC ANALYSIS OF REPRESSION AND OF THE FACTOR OF RESISTANCE FROM THE SOCIETAL VIEWPOINT

The resolution of repression or resistance is regarded by Freud as the essential problem of psychoanalysis--Neurosis, according to Freud, is life’s repression of sexuality--According to an organismic attitude repression and sexuality are concomitant and are equally the results in the individual of organic disunity and interruption of function--The biology of resistance is found in the breach in individual’s continuity with life as confluent, organic whole--Health or disease, psychologically or physiologically, depends upon whether the cell functions integrally or separatively, congruently or resistantly--In social fabric each element is against each--In our unconsciousness we deny the reality of this biological phylum embodied in our organic consciousness and underlying the processes of our individual mentation--Sexuality, currently confused with sex, is egoistic, infantile expression and antithesis of organic expression of sex--Only continuity of the confluent subjective sphere can make possible an analysis that will synthesize the scattered elements of personality.
