Usur (psychoanalysis)
In classical psychoanalysis, the term usur ( use , wear and tear , " dissecting ") denotes the decrease in the amount of affect of an idea when it is the subject of conscious occupation. The concept works Sigmund Freud back and with each day school specifically used psychotherapeutic various other concepts.
A repression prevents, for example, an idea from becoming conscious and thus also the usurping of its affect amount . The idea remains connected with an affect (often for a lifetime) and is occasionally expressed in symptoms (see also defense mechanisms such as displacement).
Causes of a prevented usur
- displacement
- Disappearance or death of the person with whom the idea is associated
- the idea was autohypnosis entered
The conditions also occur in combination. In some cases, usur is not possible for various reasons. The experience then possibly contributes to the formation of partial traumas .
Examples
A person has a difficult relationship with their mother and therefore flees their parents' home early without ever returning. Humiliating, embarrassing or other unpopular experiences from childhood can therefore no longer be adequately dealt with or dealt with. (The same occurs if the mother dies prematurely, as this also means she is no longer an opponent for later disputes.)
A person has had an unpopular experience but refuses to deal with it any further. It suppresses the memories associated with it. The "affect smoldering unconsciously" without being able to be processed. He is not subject to usur.
What all causes have in common is that they either prevent the abreaction or (thereby) primarily prevent processing through dissection (associative processing).
