About this Item

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Overdetermination, the idea that a single observed effect is determined by multiple causes at once (any one of which alone might be enough to account for the effect), was originally a key concept of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis. Freud wrote in The Interpretation of Dreams that many features of dreams were usually 'overdetermined,' in that they were caused by multiple factors in the life of the dreamer, from the 'residue of the day' (superficial memories of recent life) to deeply repressed traumas and unconscious wishes, these being 'potent thoughts'. Freud favored interpretations which accounted for such features not only once, but many times, in the context of various levels and complexes of the dreamer's psyche. The concept was later borrowed for a variety of other realms of thought. 188 pp. Englisch.
