Abstract

The author attempts to demonstrate that freudian psychoanalytic concepts can also be understood within the framework of cybernetic processes. Man's behavior

like cybernetics deals with regulatory and control processes that have developed as a result of natural selection. Love, 'the precipitate of biological evolution', is presented as an example of regulatory and control processes based on natural selection which follows the freudian and cybernetic model. Repression is given as another illustration of the 'cybernetic implications of psychoanalytic theory'.
