The libido[[James]] Strachey's charge rendering of energy. [[Freud often described the functioning of psychosexual energies in mechanical terms]]'s term ''Besetzung'', influenced perhaps by the dominance of the steam engine at the end of the nineteenth century. He often described the libido as the producer of energies that, if blocked, required release in other ways. If an individual is frustrated in his or her desires, Freud often represented that frustration as and now a blockage of energies that would then build up and require release standard term in other ways: for example, by way of regression and the "re-cathecting" [[psychoanalytic]] [[vocabulary]] of former positions (ie. fixation at the oral or anal phase and the enjoyment of former sexual objects ["object[English]]-cathexes"[[speaking]] [[world]], including auto-eroticism). When the ego blocks such efforts to discharge one's cathexis by way of regression, i.e. when the ego wishes to repress such desires, Freud uses the term "anti-cathexis" or counter-charge. Like a steam engine, the libido's cathexis then builds up until it finds alternative outlets, which can lead to sublimation or to the formation of sometimes disabling symptoms.
== References ==<references/>One of the [[meanings]] of ''Besetzung'' is the occupation of a town or territory.
Like its [[Category:LacanFrench]]equivalent ''investissement'', ''Besetzung'' is in common usage, and [[Freud]]'s [[choice]] of terminology reflects his usual reluctance to use a highly technical vocabulary. Like "[[libido]]", "[[cathexis]]," and the verb "[[cathect]]", coined by [[Freud]]'s English translator on the basis of a Greek verb [[meaning]] "to occupy," have quasi-classical connotations that are not [[Category:Termspresent]]in the original [[German]]. -- [[Category:ConceptsFreud]]uses the term to describe the [[process]] whereby a quantity of [[psychical]] [[energy]] becomes attached to an [[object]] or [[idea]]. In his earliest writings, Freud describes neurones as [[being]] cathected with a quantity of energy or a quota of [[affect]]. There is some variation in usage in the later [[texts]], but the basic [[notion]] of quantities of energy remains fairly constant. Thus, to say that an object is libidinally cathected means that it is charged with [[sexual]] energy deriving from sources [[internal]] to the [[psyche]]. In [[Freud]]'s second [[topography]], the [[id]], or the [[instinctual]] pole ofthe [[Category:Psychoanalysispersonality]], is said to be the source of all cathexes.
