Sigmund Freud
Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety
On three or four occasions in his career as a psychoanalytic theoretician, Freud
changed his mind on fundatmental issues. Setting forth in rich detail Freud's
new theory of anxiety, Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety (1926) is evidence
for one of them. In rethinking his earlier work on the subject, Freud saw several
types of anxiety at work in the mind and here argues that anxiety causes repression,
rather than the other way around.
