"It is the task of the present study to outline a psychological account of the three concepts of repression, release and normality… " The chief facts which support the doctrines of repression and release are mentioned and the criticisms of Woodworth, Stephen, Rivers, Kempf, Watson and Tannenbaum are discussed. In the doctrine of repression "we seem to have a notion theoretically sound, and meaningful both for psychology and psychiatry." Another conclusion is that "neither in psychoanalytic therapy nor in sublimation is there any true release." The chief difference between the normal individual and the abnormal is that "the normal person integrates in terms of reality, and the abnormal does not." From Psych Bulletin 20:07:00726.
