==Sigmund Freud===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=====One of the most important themes running throughout In [[Freud]]'s [[Works of Sigmund Freud{{LB}}|work]] is the opposition between , "[[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]], 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]].
These are, so to speak, "contrasting ways of bringing the past into the present."<refblockquote>Laplanche, Jean and Pontalis, Jean-Betrand. "The [[patient]] does not ''The Language of Psycho-Analysisremember''. Trans. Donald Nicholson-Smith. London: Hogarth Press anything of what he has forgotten and the Institute of Psycho-Analysis. 1967. p.4</ref> ==Memory==If past events are [[repressed]] from , but ''[[memoryacts]]'' it out. He reproduces it not as a memory, they return by expressing themselves in actionsbut as an action; when the he ''repeats'' it, without, of course, [[subjectknowing]] does not [[remember]] the past, therefore, that he is condemned to [[repeatrepeating]] it by ."<ref>{{F}} "[[acting out{{FB}}|acting it outRemembering, Repeating, and Working-Through]]." 1914. [[SE]] 12: 150</ref></blockquote>
Conversely, [[psychoanalytic treatment]] aims to break the cycle of [[repetition]] by helping the [[analysand|patient]] to [[remember]].
==Motivation===Recollection=====Although an element From a [[Lacan]]ian perspective, this basic definition of "[[repetitionacting out]] can be found in almost every " is [[humantrue]] but incomplete; it ignores the [[actiondimension]], of the term "[[Other]]. Thus while [[Lacan]] maintains that [[acting out]]" is usually reserved for those results from a failure to [[actionrecollect]]s which display "an impulsive aspect relatively out of harmony with the subject's usual motivational patterns" and which are therefore "fairly easy to isolate from the overall trends of his activity."<ref>Laplanche, Jean and Pontalis, Jean-Betrand. ''The Language of Psycho-Analysispast''. Trans. Donald Nicholson-Smith. London: Hogarth Press and , he emphasizes the Institute of Psycho-Analysis. 1967. p.4</ref> The [[subjectintersubjective]] fails to understand his motives for the dimension of [[actionrecollection]]. ==Jacques Lacan==In other [[Lacanwords]], following a tradition in psychoanalytic writing, uses this term in [[Englishrecollection]]. From a does not merely involve recalling something to [[Lacanconsciousness]]ian perspective, but also [[communication|communicating]] this basic definition to an [[Other]] by means of "[[speech]]. Hence [[acting out]]" results when [[recollection]] is true but incomplete; it ignores made [[impossible]] by the dimension [[refusal]] of the [[Other]]to listen.
==Recollection===Communication=====Thus while When the [[Other]] has become "deaf," the [[subject]] cannot convey a [[message]] to him in words, and is [[Lacanforced]] maintains that to expressed the [[message]] in [[action]]s. The [[acting out]] results from is thus a failure ciphered [[message]] which the [[subject]] addresses to an [[recollectOther]] , although the past, he emphasizes [[subject]] himself is neither [[conscious]] of the [[intersubjectivecontent]] dimension of this [[message]] nor even aware that his [[action]]s express a [[recollectionmessage]]. It is the [[Other]] who is entrusted with deciphering the [[message]]; yet it is impossible for him to do so.
In other words, [[recollection]] does not merely involve recalling something to [[consciousness]], but also [[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. ==Communication==When the [[Other]] has become "deaf," 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]]. It is the [[Other]] who is entrusted with deciphering the [[message]]; yet it is impossible for him to do so. ==See Also=====
