<blockquote>The symptom has its origin in the repressed, it is as it were the representative of the repressed in relation to the ego; the repressed is a foreign territory to the ego, an internal foreign territory, just as reality is-you must excuse the unusual expression-an external foreign territory.<ref>{{NILP}} Ch. 3</ref></blockquote>
 
==SYMPTOM AND CHANCE ACTION==

<blockquote>Symptoms are supposed to be an indication of and substitute for an unachieved instinctual gratification; they are, that is, a result of a process of repression.<ref>{{PoA}} Ch. 2</ref></blockquote>
 
<blockquote>Symptom formation thus has the actual result of putting an end to the danger situation.<ref>{{PoA}} Ch. 9</ref></blockquote>

==Dictionary==
Freud created psychoanalysis by giving meaning to symptoms. In his writings following <i>Studies on Hysteria</i> (1895d), he continued to investigate the symptom. At that time, psychiatry reduced the symptom to an opaque and incongruous phenomenon of psychic life. Freud focused on the salient and unusual features of the symptom to understand the dynamics of the unconscious and the development of conflicts.
