=====Translation=====The term "[[Acting acting out]]" is the term which is used in the ''[[Standard Edition]]'' to translate the [[German]] term [[word]] ''[[Agieren]]'' used by [[Freud]].
=====Repetition=====In [[LacanFreud]]'s [[{{LB}}|work]], "[[repetition|repeating]]" and "[[memory|remembering]]" 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]], following a tradition they [[return]] in the ''present'' by expressing themselves in psychoanalytic writing''actions''; when the [[subject]] does not [[remember]] the ''past'', therefore, uses this term in he is condemned to [[repetition|repeat]] it by [[Englishacting out|acting it out]].
Conversely, [[psychoanalytic treatment]] aims to break the cycle of [[repetition]] by helping the [[analysand|patient]] to [[remember]].
==Motivation===Recollection=====From a [[Lacan]]ian perspective, this basic definition of "[[acting out]]" is [[true]] but incomplete; it ignores the [[dimension]] of the [[Other]]. Thus while [[Lacan]] maintains that [[acting out]] results from a failure to [[recollect]] the ''past'', he emphasizes the [[intersubjective]] dimension of [[recollection]]. In other [[words]], [[recollection]] does not merely involve recalling something to [[consciousness]], but also [[communication|communicating]] this to an [[Other]] by means of [[speech]]. Hence [[acting out]] results when [[recollection]] is made [[impossible]] by the [[refusal]] of the [[Other]] to listen.

When the [[Other]] has become class="deaf,references-small" the [[subject]] cannot convey a message to him in words, and is forced to expressed the message in [[action]]s. The [[acting out]] is thus a ciphered message which the [[subject]] addresses to an [[Other]], although the [[subject]] himself is neither [[conscious]] of the content of this message nor even aware that his [[action]]s express a message.><references/>It is the [[Other]] who is entrusted with deciphering the message; yet it is impossible for him to do so.</div>
