This essentially descriptive paper deals with inhibition as a symptom or as a behavior pattern and studies the different areas of; inhibition of the intellect (i.e. a decrease in though production witnessed by disorders of language flow), reduced attention span (distractability, inability to concentrate), inhibition of volition (abulia, indecisiveness), memory inhibition (in the sense of selective amnesias, post-crisis amnesias, cyclical amnesias), restriction of the basic drives (which can touch the life principle, the need for sleep, hunger, sexual drive), emotional inhibition including a feeling of inferiority and self-doubt which affects interpersonal relations: in this sense inhibition can also manifest itself in experiences of estrangement and depersonalization. A dynamic study of inhibition should first deal with the presumed relationship between the symptom and a specific pathological process and analysis of the underlying inconscious mecanisms.
这篇本质上具有描述性的论文探讨了抑制作为一种症状或行为模式，并研究了抑制的不同领域：智力抑制（即语言流畅性障碍所见证的思维产生减少）、注意力持续时间缩短（注意力分散、无法集中注意力）、意志抑制（意志缺失、优柔寡断）、记忆抑制（在选择性失忆、危机后失忆、周期性失忆的意义上）、基本驱力的限制（这可能涉及生命原则、睡眠需求、饥饿、性驱力）、包括自卑感和自我怀疑在内的情感抑制，这会影响人际关系：从这个意义上说，抑制也可能表现为疏离感和人格解体的体验。对抑制的动态研究首先应处理症状与特定病理过程之间的假定关系，并分析潜在的无意识机制。
