ABSTRACT
This is the model Freud is drawing on when he offers us an analysis of the psyche. He begins with behavior which is puzzling, and treats it as a complex psychological construction. That is, myriad motivations are responsible for the behavior, and we shall come to understand the behavior when we can see it as the outcome of these disparate forces. So, to take a moment from the life of Mr R:
• He is walking along a road on which he knows his lady-friend will later be traveling in a carriage. He removes a stone from the road so that the carriage will not be damaged. A bit later he feels compelled to go back to replace the stone in the road.3
