From the beginning of [[psychoanalysis]], the term unpleasure, in the ordinary [[sense]] of a disagreeable impression, was chosen by Sigmund [[Freud]] for its [[dynamic]] [[dimension]] in [[psychic]] functioning. He noted the [[role]] of "[[feelings]] of unpleasure" in the [[speech]] of his [[patients]] and their defenses against the painful [[contents]] of their [[thoughts]]. In "On the [[Psychical]] [[Mechanism]] of [[Hysterical]] Phenomena: Preliminary [[Communication]]" (1893a) by Freud and Josef [[Breuer]], these painful affects—[[fear]], [[anxiety]], [[shame]], [[physical]] pain—are enumerated and their contribution to the [[formation]] of hysterical [[symptoms]] is explained: The unpleasure they elicit triggers [[forgetting]], [[repression]].
From In Freud's [[position]] of the beginning [[primitive]] psychic [[apparatus]] in The [[Interpretation]] of psychoanalysis[[Dreams]] (1900a), an [[economic]] perspective predominates: Unpleasure, engendered by the term unpleasureincrease in tensions due to [[excitation]], sets in motion the ordinary sense functioning of a disagreeable impression, was chosen by Sigmund Freud for its dynamic dimension in the [[psychic functioningapparatus]]. He noted the role of "feelings The [[psychical apparatus]] is intolerant of unpleasure" in ; it has to fend it off at all costs, and if the speech [[perception]] of his patients and their defenses against [[reality]] entails unpleasure, that perception—that is, the painful contents of their thoughtstruth—must be sacrificed" (p. In 237), he writes in "On the Psychical Mechanism of Hysterical Phenomena: Preliminary Communication[[Analysis]] Terminable and Interminable" (1893a1937c) by Freud and Josef Breuer. Unpleasure is a broader [[category]] than anxiety, although anxiety is certainly unpleasurable. [[Other]] [[affective]] states such as tension, these painful affects—fear[[pain]], anxietyor grief are also unpleasurable; so, shametoo, physical pain—are enumerated and their contribution to the formation of hysterical symptoms is explained: The unpleasure they elicit triggers forgetting[[inhibition]]. Unpleasure is thus not only an affective [[state]], repressionit is set up as a [[principle]] that regulates psychic functioning.
In Freud==Freudian Dictionary==<blockquote>The ego's position activities are governed by consideration of the primitive psychic apparatus in tensions produced by stimuli [[present]] within it or introduced into it. The Interpretation raising of Dreams (1900a), an economic perspective predominates: Unpleasure, engendered by the increase in these tensions due to excitation, sets is in motion the functioning general felt as unpleasure and their lowering as [[pleasure]].<ref>{{OoPA}} Ch. 1</ref></blockquote> <blockquote>The ego'll activities are governed by considerations of the psychic apparatustensions produced by stimuli present within it or introduced into it. "The psychical apparatus raising of these tensions is intolerant in general felt as unpleasure and their lowering as pleasure.<ref>{{OoPA}} Ch. 1</ref></blockquote> <blockquote>The [[sensation]] of unpleasure; it has which accompanies the [[appearance]] of symptoms varies to fend it off at all costs, and if an extraordinary degree. In the perception [[case]] of reality entails unpleasure, that perception—that is, the truth—must be sacrificed" (p. 237), he writes in "Analysis Terminable and Interminable" (1937c). Unpleasure is permanent symptoms where a broader category than anxiety[[displacement]] upon motility has occurred, although anxiety is certainly unpleasurable. Other affective states such as tensionparalyses and contractures, pain, or grief are also unpleasurableit is usually [[absent]]; so, too, is inhibition. Unpleasure is thus the ego behaves towards [[them]] as if it were not only an affective stateinvolved; in the case of the intermittent symptoms and those in the sensory sphere, it is set up definite feelings of unpleasure are experienced as a principle that regulates psychic functioningrule, which may be increased to an excessive degree in the case of the [[symptom]] of pain.<ref>{{PoA}} Ch.5</ref></blockquote>
