ABSTRACT

100. In this paper I am primarily concerned to present a theoretical system. Its resemblance to a philosophical theory depends on the fact that philsophers have concerned themselves with the same subject matter; it differs from philosophical theory in that it is intended, like all psychoanalytical theories, for use. It is devised with the intention that practising psycho-analysts should restate the hypotheses of which it is composed in terms of empirically verifiable data.
