January 13, 1928. Dr. S. Ferenczi: The elasticity of psycho-analytical technique.
January 27, 1928. Frau K. Lévy: Inhibitions in learning. The
speaker sought to apply Freud's views on inhibitions in general to those affecting learning in particular, illustrating her remarks by practical examples. We have to differentiate between a simple disturbance of function, occurring as a neurotic symptom, and an intellectual inhibition the basis of which is organic. The first group comprises (1) isolated inhibitions arising out of the actual task with which the subject is at the moment confronted (like forgetting, such inhibitions are based on the repression-mechanism of the pleasure-principle); (2) permanent inhibitions due to (a) the withdrawal of energy, (b) the mechanism of erotization, (c) that of self-punishment. Neurotic inhibitions in learning may spring from (a) the dread of castration, or (b) the desire for castration.
