Unless one distinguishes between repressive defense and emotional 40 INHIBITORY DEFENSES inhibition, this statement is not comprehensible. Indeed, Freud is making this very distinction, but he has not developed a differentiated vocabulary to match his theoretical distinctions. He tries to use "repression" to cover everything. EGO-RESTRICTION OR BEHAVIORAL INHIBITION Not only may inhibition be emotional, it may also be behavioral. In egorestriction, or behavioral inhibition,* the person restricts his activities in such a way as to avoid engaging in any which would arouse dangerous impulses.

We may first distinguish a group of ego-protective mechanisms centering around alterations of consciousness. " The contrast between Freud's own formal classification of his terminology in 1926 and his actual usage of "repression" in referring to these various effects is schematically shown on page 37. As indicated in Chapter I, Freud compounded confusion by using "repression" and/or "defense" at one time or another to refer to most of these mechanisms. The differences between the defenses here called "repressive" and "nonrepressive" may be illustrated by consideration of one of the nonrepressive defenses, regression.

If one rephrases this to say that he was describing new manifestations of the same processes that he first described in his conception of hysterical amnesia, a clarifying simplification is introduced into Freud's otherwise bewildering terminological usages. As the foregoing discussion has demonstrated, Freud sometimes 28 REPRESSION AND DEFENSE referred to all these manifestations as defense, and sometimes as repression. In addition he used "repression" in the more specific sense of amnesia. SUMMARY This chapter explores the various meanings of "repression" and "defense" at the points where the two overlap.
