Introduction.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 1 –6

In the secondary title of this book I have indicated that one of its main aims is to give a biological view of the psychoneuroses. My purpose is to bring functional disorders of the mind and nervous system into relation with the concepts concerning their normal mode of working, which are held by...

The unconscious.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 7 –16

The concept of "the unconscious" in psychology is one which has aroused the liveliest differences of opinion and has been met by bitter opposition. Even those who are ready to accept the vast influence of unconscious factors in psychology may well be appalled by the difficulties of treating the...
LitStream

Suppression.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 17 –21

In the last chapter I have attempted to make clear the sense in which I shall speak of "the unconscious" in this book. I have illustrated its nature by three kinds of example; one taken from a definitely pathological state dependent on an experience of early life; the second derived from my own...
LitStream

Suppression and inhibition.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 22 –33

The examples of the unconscious and of its instrument, suppression, which have been given in the last two chapters, have been taken from aspects of experience which belong clearly to the domain of psychology, and involve mental processes of a relatively high order. I propose now to consider the...
LitStream

The content of the unconscious.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 34 –39

The last three chapters have been devoted to the definition of the unconscious and the consideration of the mechanism by which experience becomes unconscious and exerts activity in the unconscious state. In this chapter the author considers the nature of the experience which forms the content of...
LitStream

The nature of instinct.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 40 –51

This chapter examines the nature of instinct. The author begins by elaborating on three ways of distinguishing between instinct and intelligence. The author moves on to show that it is possible to distinguish two kinds of instinctive behaviour according as they do or do not exhibit certain...
LitStream

The danger-instincts.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 52 –60

Instincts may be classified as of three main kinds--those of self-preservation; those which subserve the continuance of the race; and those which maintain the cohesion of the group, whether this group be a clump or herd of animals, or the more complex mass of individuals which makes up human...
LitStream

Suppression and the all-or-none principle.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 61 –65

Some of the instinctive reactions to danger described in the last chapter are evidently subject to the all-or-none principle. If an animal is to flee from danger it is essential that this reaction shall be carried out as completely as possible. There is no opening for graduation of the degree and...
LitStream

Instinct and suppression.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 66 –70

I propose in this chapter to consider a little more fully some features of suppression to which I have already referred in connection with the "all-or-none" principle. Some of the instinctive modes of reaction to danger which I have described would fall short of their full effect, or would even...
LitStream

Dissociation.

Rivers, W. H. R.

Pages: 71 –84

At the end of the last chapter I have referred to the activity of suppressed experience which is exemplified, for instance, by the case of claustrophobia which I have chosen to illustrate the nature of "the unconscious." This activity is usually known by the name of dissociation. This chapter...
