Changes

[[Lacan]]'s notion of the "'''[[repetition|insistence of the letter'''" (''[[l'instance de la lettre]]'''"), or of the [[repetition|compulsive repetition]] of certain '''[[signifier]]s''' or '''[[letter]]s''' despite the [[subject]]'s [[consciousness|conscious attempts]] to [[repression|repress]] them, is a [[development]] of [[Freud]]'s "[[repetition|compulsion to repeat]]",    but it is also influenced by the idea of "'''[[repetition|automatisme de répétition]]'''" ("[[repetition|repetition automatism]]"), which, in the French psychiatric tradition of Pierre Janet, refers to the [[repetition|compulsive repetition]] or [[repetition|reproduction]] of ''an [[complex|internalized social structure]]''.
