The term "[[acting out]]" is used in the ''[[Standard Edition]]'' to translate the [[German]] word ''[[Agieren]]'' used by [[Freud]].
In [[Freud]]'s [[{{LB}}|work]], "[[repetition|repeating]]" and "[[recollectionmemory|remembering]]" refer to are "contrasting ways of bringing the ''past '' into the ''present''."<ref>Laplanche, Jean and Pontalis, Jean-Betrand. ''The Language of Psycho-Analysis''. Trans. Donald Nicholson-Smith. London: Hogarth Press and the Institute of Psycho-Analysis. 1967. p.4</ref>
If ''past'' events are '''[[repression|repressed]]''' from '''[[memory]]''', they '''[[return]]''' in the ''present'' by expressing themselves in '''actions'''; when the '''[[subject]]''' does not '''[[remember]]''' the ''past'', therefore, he is condemned to '''[[repetition|repeat]]''' it by [[acting out|acting it out]].
 ==Memory==If past events are [[repressed]] from [[memory]], they return by expressing themselves in actions; when the [[subject]] does not [[remember]] the past, therefore, he is condemned to [[repeat]] it by [[acting out|acting it out]]. Conversely, [[psychoanalytic treatment]] aims to break the cycle of ''''[[repetition]] ''' by helping the [[analysand|patient]] to '''[[remember]]'''.
