Defense
According to Freud and Breuer, a hysteric was someone who had been the victim of one
or even several traumas, the repressed representations of which remain pathogenically
active due to the fact that they have not been abreacted. (p.10)

pasien tidak ingin mengetahuinya dan resisten terhadapnya.
Tapi, kenapa psychosexual desire?
The d e s i r e of
the hysterical subject is to have an

There is only one affect for the human being, namely the effect of division
in and through language. Desire actually finds its origin in and through this
division, precisely because this division results in the irrevocable loss that

is given from the very start... According to Lacan, each speaking being le
parletre is by definition divided and therefore hysterical with it. This gives
us the problem of a conceptual differentiation between normal and patho-
logical hysteria. (p.16)
