Unconscious fantasy is the principal unit of psychoanalytic investigation. Though individual fantasies, either conscious or unconscious, may emphasize drive, defense, or superego interests, all fantasy life develops from a limited number of themes; these themes concern drive-related issues, experiences of helplessness, or combinations of both. Fantasy formation and fantasy content undergo developmental change. Sensorimotor, behavioral memories occur prior to fantasy and are influential in determining repetitive behavioral enactments. The complexities of infant behavior do not require the postulation of fantasy or representational memory. A complex, innate, instinctual organization of the newborn, similar in many respects to that of other newborn mammals, and distinct from the psychological organization of the older infant, is suggested as an explanation of these phenomena.
无意识幻想是精神分析研究的主要单元。尽管个体幻想，无论是有意识的还是无意识的，可能会强调驱力、防御或超我利益，但所有幻想生活都源于有限的几个主题；这些主题涉及与驱力相关的问题、无助感体验或两者的结合。幻想的形成和幻想内容会经历发展变化。感觉运动、行为记忆先于幻想出现，并对决定重复性的行为表现有影响。婴儿行为的复杂性并不需要假设幻想或表象记忆。有人提出，新生儿有一种复杂的、先天的、本能的组织，在许多方面与其他新生哺乳动物的组织相似，且与较大婴儿的心理组织不同，以此来解释这些现象。
