In [[psychoanalytic theory]], a [[bungled action ]] such as a [[slip of the tongue ]] whose [[goal ]] is not achieved and which is replaced by another.Like symptoms, parapraxes are interpreted by [[Freudanother]] as compromise formations resulting from a conflict between conscious intentions and repressed feelings or impulses.
Like [[symptom]]s, [[parapraxes]] are [[interpret]]ed by [[Freud]] as [[compromise formation]]s resulting from a [[conflict]] between [[conscious]] [[intentions]] and [[repressed]] [[feeling]]s or impulses.
A [[parapraxis ]] is an [[act ]] that appears to be [[unintentional ]] but can be [[understood]], through [[psychoanalytic ]] exploration, to be perfectly motivated and unconsciously [[unconscious]]ly determined. A brief and delimited disturbance that may be spontaneously explained as the result of chance or inattention, a parapraxis may be readily perceived by its initiator or by a third party to be a "mistake."
[[Parapraxes interested Freud as early as 1890. In letters to Wilhelm Fliess, he created ]] include a virtual collection wide range of examples communicated to him by correspondents. Parapraxes representedevents, in factincluding failures of [[memory]], an important demonstration slips of disturbances created by the unconscious. As opposed to dreams, parapraxes tend to require fewer biographical details while providing valuable evidence—indeed, often with comical effect—that offers a popular audience an easy way to grasp psychoanalysis.

In letters to [[Wilhelm Fliess]], he created a [[virtual]] collection of examples communicated to him by correspondents. [[Parapraxes]] represented, in fact, an important demonstration of [[disturbance]]s created by the [[unconscious]]. As opposed to [[dream]]s, [[parapraxes]] tend to require fewer biographical details while providing valuable evidence—indeed, often with comical effect—that offers a popular audience an easy way to grasp [[psychoanalysis]]. Furthermore, [[parapraxes]] constitute one of the pillars of the [[psychopathology]] of everyday [[life]], which [[Freud]] considered necessary to [[understand]] [[mental]] [[pathology]] in a broader context. [[Freud]] discusses [[parapraxes]] in two of his major works: [[Psychopathology of Everyday Life]] (1901) and [[Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis]] (1915-17). Beyond the anecdotal nature of many of the examples in these two works, [[parapraxes]] clearly raise an issue fundamental for [[psychoanalytic]] [[thought]]—namely, the link between [[psychic]] [[determinism]] and the [[unconscious]]. [[Freud]] was led to clarify his [[position]] toward the [[notion]] of "chance" as differentiated from [[superstition]]: <blockquote>"I do not believe that an event in whose occurrence my mental life plays no part can teach me any hidden [[thing]] [[about]] the [[future]] shape of [[reality]]; but I believe that an unintentional manifestation of my own mental [[activity]] does on the [[other]] hand disclose something hidden, though again it is something that belongs only to my mental life [not to [[external]] reality]. I believe in external ([[real]]) chance, it is [[true]], but not in [[internal]] ([[psychical]]) accidental events."<ref>Freud, 1901b, p328</ref></blockquote> The link between [[parapraxes ]] and [[psychopathology]], moreover, is established, according to [[Freud]], uniquely through the fact that, in the [[case ]] of [[chance events ]] [[event]]s in a real [[world]], "slips" involve the most insignificant [[psychic events]] [[event]]s. By contrast, [[neurotic symptoms ]] [[symptom]]s are related to the most important [[psychic ]] functions from both [[individual ]] and [[social ]] perspectives. In both instances, however, the same [[processes ]] enable such symptoms [[symptom]]s to be understood, that is, as compromise formations [[formation]]s located between [[desire ]] and [[defense]], between a [[subject]]'s [[conscious ]] [[intention ]] and [[repression]].
