Development of concepts--Removal of repression does not empty the unconscious--Repression is a special phenomenon--The unconscious contains not only repressed material, but subliminal sense-impressions which have never reached consciousness--It is constantly busied with new phantasy formation--Patients are urged to retain their hold on repressed materials that analysis has brought into consciousness--Prolonged analysis reveals contents other than those of a personal nature--Necessity to differentiate a layer called the "personal" unconscious whose materials originate in the personal past--Their omission from consciousness constitutes a defect or neglect--The moral reaction against this neglect shows they could become conscious if sufficient trouble were taken--The gradual transference of the personal unconscious contents into consciousness extends the periphery of consciousness.
