Notes on a Possible Generalisation of the Theories of Freud

Jacques Riviere in The Criterion, July 1923, p. 329, 331.

"Even if it seems logical to show first of all the unconscious at work in the most elementary acts of our normal daily life, this becomes an error of method, if it cannot be revealed with as much evidence in those acts as in pathological acts, if its intervention therein is more disputable, and if, in fact, it was not first of all disclosed in those acts."

See Freud, selected works, Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volume 54, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 54.
