Hostile impulses against parents (a wish that they should die) are also an integrating constituent of neuroses. They come to light consciously as obsessional ideas. In paranoia the worst feature of delusions of persecution (pathological distrust of rulers and monarchs) corresponds to these hostile impulses against parents. These impulses are repressed at periods when compassion for the parents is aroused — at times of their illness or death. On such occasions it is a manifestation of mourning to reproach oneself for their death (so-called melancholia) or to punish oneself in a hysterical fashion, through the medium of the idea of retribution, with the same states [of illness] that they have had. The identification which occurs here is, as can be seen, nothing other than a mode of thinking and does not make the search for the motive superfluous.
It seems as though this death wish is directed in sons against their fathers and in daughters against their mothers. A maidservant makes a transference from this by wishing her mistress to die so that her master can marry her. (Observation: Lisel's dream relating to Martha and me.)
Memories appear to bifurcate: one part of them is put aside and replaced by fantasies; another accessible part seems to lead directly to impulses. Is it possible that later on impulses can also derive from fantasies?
Similarly obsessional neurosis and paranoia would derive ex aequo [on equal terms] from hysteria, which would explain their incompatibility.
