P. 202). Unless you express it directly, then it doesn’t count. So repression makes an idea unsayable. Even if you were given the words by someone else—someone who knows about psychoanalysis, perhaps, and thinks they know what your unconscious is up to—then the words still wouldn’t be attached to the object, they would remain detached from it (even if they were exactly the “right” words). This is why one wouldn’t generally make a big interpretation at the beginning of a treatment. It doesn’t matter how “correct” it is, you won’t be helping the person in any way whatsoever.
Ironically, but understandably, it was the agency of the ego, das Ich, from the second topography, which was to prove the focus and organising principle of this evolution. The agency of the ego was the replacement (with significant modifications), in the second topography, for the function of consciousness in the first topography. The latter function had represented Freud’s attempt to specify the unifying effects of the psyche, in its relations with the exigencies of external reality. This approach possessed a certain coherence in the light of Freud’s assumption of a distinct separation between pleasure drives, representing demands for satisfaction from internal sources, and ego drives endeavouring to mediate between these demands and the exigencies of external reality.
